Hastings United are delighted to announce the signing of attacking midfielder Ella Roper.
Roper (16), part of PLYR x Millwall 16-19 Academy joins The ‘U’s from Maidstone United where she has scored 8 goals in 10 starts this season.
Ella Roper: “I’m really looking forward to joining Hastings United and all the new challenges it will bring. Really excited to get going and meet the rest of the team.”
Billy Wood: “I am delighted to welcome Ella to Hastings, she is a player with so much upside and potential. We are excited to play a part in her development at this stage, Ella is self-aware enough to know coming into a competitive scenario will hopefully help push her development on both on and off the pitch. Patience is key but I have no doubt she will play an important part for the rest of the season for us. I was really happy with the conversation and the fact she has the mentality to want to push herself to play alongside some extremely talented and experienced players from high levels shows she isn’t just happy playing minutes, it’s about her wanting to push her development further.”
Ella Roper will wear the number 12 shirt and joins up with the squad this week. For player sponsorship email billy.wood@hastingsunited.com
