Leicester City midfielder Reavill joins West Brom on dual-registration basis | OneFootball

Leicester City’s teenage midfielder Jess Reavill has joined FA Women’s National League Northern Premier Division club West Bromwich Albion on a dual-registration basis.

The Baggies announced the news this afternoon via a post on their official club website.

Reavill initially spent time with West Bromwich Albion prior to the winter break and she will now enjoy an extended stay with the club.

The 18-year-old has come through the academy ranks at Barclays Women’s Super League club Leicester City and she made a couple of senior appearances for The Foxes last season. Given the increased competition for places this term, Reavill has been unable to get the minutes that she needs and she will now get some game time in the third tier with West Bromwich Albion.

After securing Reavill’s services, West Bromwich Albion head coach Siobhan Hodgetts-Still said “I’m really excited that Jess will be with us for the rest of the season.

“She is a talented player who impressed us instantly when she came in. She’s young but already has some valuable experience under her belt.

“I have no doubt Jess is going to thrive here.”

Reavill could go straight into the West Bromwich Albion squad for Sunday’s FA Women’s National League Northern Premier Division fixture at Nottingham Forest.
