I really like the girls and I really like the staff, so when the opportunity came up that I could stay, I didn’t have to think twice, it was a no-brainer for me.
“I think it’s a good group of people here. Everyone is just looking out for each other and I’m honestly so happy to be staying here.
“This club is made to win titles, to win trophies and I’m here to do that. The team definitely has the qualities and potential to do that, and we do have a very successful future ahead.”
