Wolves Women have completed the signing of promising midfield talent Layla Proctor.
Following her departure from Plymouth Argyle last month, 21-year-old Proctor becomes Wolves' latest addition to the squad ahead of their debut WSL 2 campaign, which kicks off in September.
Having featured against the Old Gold in the FA Women's National League Play-Off in May for Argyle, Proctor is no stranger to her new teammates, with her performance in that fixture that catching the eye of manager Dan McNamara.
Born in the UK but raised in Australia, Proctor's journey to the West Midlands comes after a career to date that has seen her play both in England and overseas, having signed for SV Elversberg in Germany at the age of 16.
A move to Manchester United's Academy came in 2020, where she progressed through the age groups and dual-signed with fourth-tier Huddersfield Town to gain important first team exposure.
A move to the third-tier with South Coast side Lewes followed, making 23 appearances for the Rooks, before she became Argyle's first signing last summer under then-manager Marie Hourihan.
Speaking about his new acquisition, manager McNamara said: "Layla is a player who I have known for a long time and when the opportunity came up to bring her in, it was something we worked really hard to complete. Anyone who was at the play-off final in May would also have seen the quality Layla possesses and she caused us a few problems that day, so I'm delighted she's now on our side!
"We believe there is still so much potential to unlock with Layla, at only 21 she still brings experience from abroad and within UK. Aggressive, driven and determined are words that sum up Layla and we look forward to seeing her in Old Gold."
