Flint Town United Ladies have made an exciting addition to their ranks as they prepare for a third season in the Tier 2 Adran North.

Poppy Hâf Smith has landed at the Essity Stadium after three successful years with flourishing Cheshire-based club Nantiwch Town..

The 21-year-old midfielder has also played in North Wales for Airbus, where she spent the 2021-22 and 2022-23 seasons, scoring on her debut in a 5-0 victory at Welshpool. She made 23 appearances in all for the Wingmakers, scoring two goals.

Flint Town United head coach Becca Eagles is excited about her new addition: “Poppy will definitely bring a real good energy into the group both on and off the pitch,” she said.
