As well as playing for the Quakers throughout her youth, Annie joined the Newcastle United Girls PDC and spent four years there from 2020-2024.

Annie had the following to say on signing for the Quaker Women:  “I am really excited about the opportunity to sign for Darlington F.C Women and be part of a team where I can continue to develop as a player and challenge myself in the women’s game.”

 

Manager Shaun Mackenzie had the following to say: “I am really happy that Annie has chosen to sign for us as she will not have been shy of offers in the women’s game. She has a lot of talent and massive potential to go far in the game. I was there for her first ever game for Darlington as a 9 year old and remember it well. I’ve obviously kept tabs on her progress throughout the years and it’s been excellent to see her develop as a player and continue to enjoy her football. She’s technically gifted and has always scored goals regardless of where she’s playing. We won’t put too much pressure on her having only just turned 16, but I think we can expect big things for Annie once she finds her feet and settles in.”
