Abby Jones, the 22-year-old skipper of AFC Bournemouth, described it as 'surreal' to see the club's journey over the past nine years.

Jones first joined the club at 13 and moved into the first team at 16, witnessing a significant rise to the third tier of the women's game.

"It's crazy to think nine years ago I started when I was 13 and as soon as I turned 16 I went into the women's team, and I think that's such a surreal moment for me to know that I'm still here nine years later."

Jones expressed her gratitude for the team's growth and opportunities, stating it has helped them develop further.
