The Posh Women have bolstered their options with the signing of New Zealand Under 20 international Grace Bartlett. 

Bartlett signed a youth development deal with the Wellington Phoenix in December 2025 and  was rewarded with her A-League debut soon afterwards, appearing as a substitute in a 7-0 thrashing of Sydney FC. She arrives at Posh from Auckland and will provide additional options in wide areas for Jake Poole's side. 

Bartlett has been a regular in New Zealand age-group teams, representing the Football Ferns up to the Under 20s and joins after playing in the Under 20s World Cup in Poland earlier this month. 

She can operate in a number of positions, playing as a wing-back for the Football Ferns during that tournament, which included games against Japan and the United States of America. 

The 19-year-old will go straight into the Posh squad for the FAWNL Cup tie with Leicester City PGA. at PIMS Park. 

Manager Jake Poole said: "We are delighted to welcome Grace, who is a talented young player with international experience and huge potential. She is a hugely ambitious player and we are excited to see her progress with the club."
