The 18-year-old attacking midfielder has been named West Midlands Division One South player of the season.

City finished runners-up in the league to Copsewood Coventry after leading the table for much of the season.

Manager Paul Hennessey said: "Annie has had a tremendous season for us and is a very talented player.

"She will be moving on to university in Leeds next season where she will hopefully go on to play at a much higher level."

The first team and reserves start their pre-season training programme on Tuesday, July 17, at Bilford Road.
