“So excited to be resigning with Trailfinders Women – there’s nowhere else I’d rather spend my comeback year.

“The girls are great, the coaching staff are great and it’s a really high-performance environment. I’m really excited to get on the field.”

Head Coach, Barney Maddison, commented:

“Charlie’s had a really tough time with injury recently, so it’s really great seeing her back out on the pitch.

“To have her back, having a full pre-season under her belt, we’re looking forward to seeing what she can do.”
