"A special thanks must go to Vic Akers for giving me the opportunity to manage this special club. It was always going to be a huge challenge taking over from such a legendary figure in the women’s game, but I've learnt so much from Vic and can’t thank him enough for all that he’s done for me.
"I’d like to thank all the staff I worked with at the Club too, they are a credit to the game. Finally I want to thank the players, who have been a pleasure to coach. They are an immensely talented group, with a winning mentality, and I’ve no doubt they will continue to succeed.”
