Since joining Coventry United, Crackle has represented the club in the FA Women’s Championship on 27 occasions. Her only goal was a winning goal with the player hitting the back of the net in Coventry United’s 1-0 home win over London City Lionesses in March.
Crackle is one of the most experienced Coventry United players in terms of second tier football exposure and todays announcement is further good news as the club look to assemble a strong squad for the coming season.
Coventry United have now agreed contracts with no less than 10 members of their 2020/2021 squad while manager Bradford has also been able to make the impressive additions of forward Katie Wilkinson and midfielder Charlie Estcourt.
