Michelle Yeowell has been appointed Head of Player Recruitment for Bristol City Women.

Having spent the last six years at Southampton as Technical Development and Coaching Manager and Under-21s Head Coach, Yeowell previously managed Yeovil Town and oversaw their promotion to WSL 1 in 2015/16.

"I'm excited to be taking on this new role and I can't wait to get the first new face through the door," said Yeowell. "The Championship is a tough division so it's important we get the right players in this summer to add to the talented group we already have.

"I look forward to working with Lauren [Smith] and her team to achieve the best we can this season."

Gavin Marshall, Bristol Sport Group CEO, added: “We’re pleased to have appointed Michelle into this new role within our staff team.

“She comes with extensive experience and knowledge of the game. Recruitment is a key pillar for us as we look to identify key talent across the UK and beyond to supplement our talented Academy players to produce a successful first team."
