Professional Game Academy Players
The PGA is a revised player pathway which replaced the FA WSL Academy in 2023. The PGA structure provides young players with the opportunity to be selected as part of a professional club's programme, combining football development with their education.
This pathway will allow the players the opportunity to train with Rehanne Skinner's first-team squad, as well as providing them with the chance to learn and develop at the team's Chadwell Heath training ground.
Note: Flags indicate national team as defined under FIFA eligibility rules; some limited exceptions apply. Players may hold more than one non-FIFA nationality.
