A promising 18-year old goalkeeper & Welsh international who signed her first professional contract with the club in January. Hope she gets minutes there as gaining first team experience is valuable. If she does well I'm quite confident that she'll spend next season on loan.

She's played a few games on "one week emergency" loans at Coventry but it would be good for her to play regularly - she's ready for it. She's already a full international for Wales on the strength of her junior team and U21 performances for us and Wales.
 
Clean sheet in her debut away at Sunderland. Glad she got a game before the end of the season.
 
A very good 45-minute performance today. Looked very assured, made a few decent saves and was comfortable in possession.
 
Good to hear it. She needs the experience and the game time won't come as third choice at United.

Not sure if it implies anything about a new addition to the keeper team arriving, but one thing at a time ...
 
Watford were bottom of the table with one win and had conceded the most goals in the league (30) when Saf joined them. With her in goal: 3 matches, 2 wins & 2 clean sheets.

Excellent. I am pleased for her, and thanks for the info.
 
It would be nice if our social media staff would make an effort to get to know our own players. There’s a reason for her wearing sunglasses, and it’s not style.
