Wolves Women Win Play-Off to Seal First Promotion to WSL2

The club now shifts to a full-time model next season with backing from chairman Nathan Shi.

Overview

  • Wolves Women earned promotion to England’s second tier with a 1-0 play-off win over Plymouth Argyle at Burton’s Pirelli Stadium on Monday.
  • Charlotte Greengrass scored in the second half and goalkeeper Alex Brooks won player of the match for a series of crucial saves.
  • Nathan Shi praised the squad and said the team will move to a full-time setup next season, which WSL2 rules require for clubs.
