Proud moment for the academy to see 5 first team contracts signed this season. It’s a testament to the players, staff and family who have supported the pathway in developing a platform for female athletes to continue progressing in the game 🔴⚪️

Any #coaching / #sport / #business pals out there with any experience of sporting business or management courses then please get in touch.

Really intrigued by the likes of UCFB and others but the market seems swamped and in need of flexibility! #university #study

@JamesCopley_ Played really well - thought Geertruida was excellent.

[Steve Dix @_SteveDix]

Another fantastic example of the pathway working. Tilly has made great progress with the PGA squad this season and is the latest player to make the step up and get first team minutes this season. Congrats Tilly!

[Sunderland AFC Women @SAFCWomen]

A special moment for Tilly Parker as she made her first senior appearance for the Club 🤩

Congratulations, Tilly! 👏

Fantastic example of the pathway. Having seen Chloe’s progress over the last couple of years it was a proud moment today to be in the ground watching her step out with the first team for the first time.

[Sunderland AFC Women @SAFCWomen]

A debut to remember 🤩

Superb performance, Chloe! 👏

[Steve Dix @_SteveDix]

Congratulations Chloe! Great to see Jenny Blench, Eva Bewicke and Niyah Dunbar on the bench as well.

🙌 From the PGA to the First Team...

Chloe Paxton makes her senior debut in the Wear-Tyne derby 🤩

[Sunderland AFC Women @SAFCWomen]

🙌 Our PGA side maintained their excellent run of form yesterday, producing a determined comeback to earn a 2-1 victory away at Arsenal. Niamh Boothroyd found the net directly from a corner, before Eve Bewicke confidently converted from the penalty spot to secure victory.

The result builds on recent momentum, following a 2-0 win over rivals Durham and a hard-fought draw against Manchester United, where the Young Lasses claimed an extra point with success in the penalty shootout.

Well played, Lasses! 👏

[Sunderland AFC Women @SAFCWomen]

🙌 A brace from Eva Bewicke, along with goals from Emily Cassap and Tilly Parker, saw our PGA team secure a convincing 4-1 victory over Manchester City this afternoon.

Well played, Lasses! 👏

So happy for Niyah and her family! She is hard working, humble and has worked relentlessly to earn these opportunities. We are so proud of you and we’re looking forward to supporting you and the team 🔴⚪️ 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿

[Courtney Lock @Courtneylock_2]

Brilliant to see Ella with another call up to Scotland U19. She has worked so hard to earn these opportunities. Ella is a great leader in our group and I’m sure she’ll be the same with @ScotlandNT. All the best for your games, we are so proud of you 🔴⚪️ 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿
