Lily Dent has signed her first professional contract with the club.

Lily, 18, has been a regular in our under-19s after joining us from Sutton United in 2023.

Women’s and girls’ academy manager Perry Northeast said, “We're really pleased and excited to see Lily sign her first professional contract with the club.

"Lily's an exciting young player who has demonstrated a drive to improve every day and has recently had invaluable experience training with our women's first team, alongside making her debut against Chelsea last season in the WSL.

“We look forward to watching her continue to develop over the coming seasons ahead."

Lily has made 27 appearances for the under-19s, including the Nike Cup final which Albion won last year and made her senior debut for the first team in January against Chelsea in the Women's Super League.

The forward was a part of Dario Vidosic's squad’s pre-season camp in Spain this summer. She has also regularly trained with the first team players at the American Express Elite Football Performance Centre.
