Posh Women

Ahead of the new FAWNL Division One Midlands campaign, the Posh Women have strengthened their attacking options. 

Peterborough United Women are delighted to announce the signing of Leeds United striker Jess Rousseau, who arrives to bolster their attacking ranks ahead of the FAWNL Division One Midlands campaign. 

Rousseau has scored 30 goals over the last two seasons at the level, earning her the Player of the Season award in the 2023/24 campaign  for the club. She was part of the Leeds squad that won the County Cup final last season and met her new team-mates earlier this week.

Manager Jake Poole is delighted to secure the signature of the prolific Rousseau: "Jess is a player that I have been aware of for some time and her goalscoring record in recent seasons has been impressive at this level.

"She brings something different to our front line and will excite the supporters. This signing gives us an exciting additional weapon to our attack."

General Manager Sam Winch said: "This is another fantastic addition to our squad. Jess is a player that both Jake and I have known for a long time, who brings lots of energy, pace and a thirst for goals.

"Jess has already met the group and settled in straight away. I am looking forward to introducing her to the supporters throughout pre-season."

Rousseau said: "I am really excited to get started. It is always a difficult decision when you are leaving a club to ensure you pick the right club for the next chapter and after weighing everything up, I felt this was the place for me. 

"I spoke to Jake and he outlined his vision and I want to be a part of that. Hopefully I can hit the ground running and help the team be successful."
