Crofts returns to Cwmbran Celtic as unbeaten side continue strong start

Crofts’ next destination is Cwmbran Celtic, where she returns after spending 20 months away from the club.

She joins a side that has enjoyed an unbeaten start to the season across all competitions, with positive results in both the Adran South and the Adran Trophy.

Cwmbran Celtic topped their Adran Trophy group after recording victories over Cascade and Penybont. They have also beaten Pontypridd United and Llanrumney United in the league.

After contributing 21 goals and seven assists during her time at Briton Ferry, the striker will be hoping to carry that attacking form into her return to Cwmbran Celtic.
