Tyler Toland has spoken for the first time since signing for City from Irish Premiership side Sion Swifts.

The 18-year-old midfielder, whose deal at City marks her first professional contract, says her childhood dream has come true with her move to Nick Cushing's side.

Toland arrives after catching the eye with her performances for the Irish national team, for whom she made her debut at the age of 16.

“I’m delighted to sign, I’m very excited," our new No 12 said. "Since I was four or five my dream was to become a professional footballer and now it’s a reality.

“I’ve spoken to the manager and I’ve met all the girls. They’ve all been fantastic in helping me to settle in.

“I’m going to work hard… and hopefully help the team as much as I can."
