Doncaster Belles sign midfielder Bakowska-Mathews

The 23-year-old arrives from Canada via Florida State University (FSU) where she won a National Championship and three ACC Championships.

She becomes Emma Coates’ third signing since taking over as manager.

Bakowska-Mathews said: “It feels unbelievable.

“I found the staff are very professional and have a lot of depth and experience. The facilities are really great and, having watched a game, I saw that the team played well together and had an abundance of potential."

Bakowska-Mathews could make her debut against Sunderland in the Continental Cup on Sunday.
