Peterborough United Women are delighted to confirm the arrival of defender Anna Pitt, who strengthens manager Jake Poole’s options ahead of the 2025/26 FAWNL Division One Midlands campaign.
Pitt, (23), trained with the Posh squad towards the end of last season after arriving from the United States to continue her education and footballing journey and becomes the first new arrival of the summer.
“I am extremely excited to be here. I think this team has a lot of ambitions for the upcoming season and I am happy to be a part of it. It was great to be able to train with the girls for the last few weeks of the season, get to know them a little better and they are a really good group.
“When the opportunity came to sign, it was something that I really wanted to do, and I can’t wait to get started. I played at UC Santa Barbara in California for four years in college and I wanted to continue my studies and my football career. Both of my parents are from England, so I have a bit of background here, so it seemed like the best choice.
“I am a central defender who loves defending. For me, defending is the best part of the game. Hopefully I can help the team as best as I can and we can enjoy a positive season,” Pitt said.
Manager Jake Poole is excited to work with Pitt: “Anna is an athletic and experienced defender who brings lots of quality and professionalism from her time in the States. She is a natural leader with strong technical ability who will add lots to our squad.”
General Manager Sam Winch said: “I am delighted to begin our summer recruitment with Anna’s announcement. I know she is someone Jake has been tracking for some time and having her officially a Posh player will really bolster the squad for the new season.”

A host of players are set to be announced over the coming weeks that have extended their stay with the club.
