Two great new young signings revealed by Flint Town United

Flint Town United have boosted their squad by signing another two quality young players.

Goalkeeper Ruby Stevens arrives at the Essity from Airbus UK Broughton, while Mia Warburton returns after a year out of football and makes the Silkwomen her first senior team.

Ruby, 18, represented Airbus at academy, under-16 and U19 level before making her first team debut early in the 2022-23 season.

She went on to become a regular in the tier 2 Genero Adran North for the Wingmakers and also played in the NEWFA Challenge Cup final in a 3-0 loss to Connah’s Quay Nomads.

Ruby remained a first team regular last season, which ended with Airbus being relegated to tier 3. Despite a fair few defeats for her team over the campaign, Ruby’s performances almost always received good reviews. She also continued to turn out for the under-19s.

The young keeper featured in Airbus’ first three games of the current campaign before deciding on a move to Flint, where she will provide good competition for Becky Bott.

Having already gathered plenty of tier 2 experience, Ruby will be more than familiar with the standard Flint now play at.

In all, Ruby made 41 first team appearances for Airbus.

Mia Warburton, 16, is a promising midfielder who has previously played for Flintshire Schools, Wrexham Development and Airbus at junior level.

After a year out of football, FTU will be Mia’s first senior team and she’s already become a great addition.
