WOMEN NEW SIGNING: Bryan Checks In As Ewes' Seventh Summer Addition

Derby County Women have bolstered their squad with the addition of versatile midfielder Ella Bryan.

The 19-year-old has linked up with Head Coach Sam Griffiths’ squad as their seventh summer signing - with the 2025/26 FA Women’s National League Northern Premier Division season kicking off next week.

Bryan is a product of the Aston Villa Academy and is an intelligent attack-minded player who can operate in the middle of the park, out wide, or up front.

She spent last season with Leafield Athletic in the FA WNL Division One Midlands, having previously had a stint with Boldmere St. Michaels in the same league.

Despite her young age, Bryan also has experience coaching, taking girls' football sessions for young age groups away from her own on-pitch career.
