Cheltenham Town Women announce versatile new signing ahead of Plymouth Argyle trip

Cheltenham Town Women have signed Kaitlyn Morgan-Hemmens, who joins the club after a 18 months out of football.

"The girls have been really welcoming and it’s nice to see some familiar faces," the 22-year-old said.

"It’s been good just to get back in and start training.”

Morgan has spent time away from football, most recently playing for Sunday's opponents Plymouth Argyle.

She has trained with the club for the last few weeks ahead of getting her international clearance and has taken the time to get to know her new teammates.

“Lots of new faces as well as familiar," said Morgan-Hemmens. "It’s been good to get to know some of them, especially some of the girls I’ve not really met but played against before, so it’s been good to get to know them on a personal level.

“I’m buzzing to rejoin a first-team set-up. It’s been a long time out, a year-and-a-half now since the last time I played a competitive game, so to hopefully be able to make my debut today, it’s been a long time coming.”

Morgan joins the club during a crucial period of the season. The Robins travel down to Plymouth in a massive clash at the bottom of the table, before facing Moneyfields in the Adobe Women’s FA Cup next week.

After that, Cheltenham will travel to Stockport County in the quarter-finals of the FA Women’s National League Plate.

On the run of fixtures coming up for her new club, Morgan said: “The girls are class, it’s a good group of players, the ability is there.

"Within the new few games that are coming up, especially the key ones like cup games, we just need to build the momentum going into the league.”
