Boro Women have completed the signings of Leanna Giles and Keira Skelton.

Keira and Leanna are the first additions to Michael Mulhern's squad this summer. 

Keira joins Boro off the back of back-to-back promotions with Newcastle, Leanna comes after winning Durham Cestria's Player of The Year last season.

The two will join the squad in pre-season as the players return to training this week to build up for the season starting in August. 

On the two signings, Head Coach Michael Mulhern said: "I’ve known of Keira for a couple of years and she was one of my targets last summer."

"Unfortunately she was under contract at Newcastle then and was out of our reach so I’m delighted to finally get her into Boro.

"Keira is a young player who has bags of potential and I’m looking forward to working with her this season.

"Again I've seen Leanna play through my time as a scout and been aware of her talents for a long time.

"She's another young player with bags of potential and could prove an important signing and I'm delighted to have her on board."
