All you need to know about Boro Women's newest signing Grace Boyes

Born in South Shields, Grace's football career would begin at Sunderland Regional Talent Centre, starting at U11s all the way to U16s.

Moving into senior football, Grace joined Sunderland Women and South Shields on a dual registration in 2019.

Grace would make her senior debut and score her first senior goal at her hometown club South Sheilds at just 16 years old.  

Splitting her time at SAFC Women were stints at Alnwick Town and Middlesbrough as Grace looked to get game time under her belt, before rejoining Sunderland for the 2021/22 season. 

Moving over from Wearside, Grace would join Tynesiders, Newcastle in 2022, where her playing time was halted by injury problems before recently making her comeback last season helping Newcastle to promotion. 

Just last week Grace represented England University's team, winning 3-0 against the Welsh University's, playing the full 90 minutes.
