It’s back to the future for Beth Merrick as the former England U-23 player returns to Wolves Women 18 years after entering the club’s then Centre of Excellence at the tender age of seven, writes TONY LEIGHTON.

“Beth’s an amazing signing for us,” says manager Dan McNamara, who has embarked on an ambitious team strengthening programme as Wolves prepare to step up to the National League’s Northern Premier Division.
