Maidenhead United Women manager Ryan Taylor has bolstered his squad with the signing of Izzy Davis.

The 24-year-old midfielder previously played with Reading Academy prior to spells with Caversham United and Woodley United.

In the club’s matchday programme, Davis said: “I have found everyone so welcoming and the standard to be great so I am excited to get started.

“I’m a central attacking midfielder. My main strengths are work ethic, physicality, decision-making, considerate in possession and end-product.”

Taylor added: “She’s just coming back from a long lay-off due to injury. But I have been impressed with how she’s trained during the past few weeks.

“She’s an energetic player and wants to get on the ball and drive at players and will be an excellent addition to our squad.

“Having played at youth level with Reading with several of our squad, she’s around familiar faces and she’s fitted in perfectly with our group.”
