Hayley Matthews

Starting her KTWFC career as a defender, Hayley has gone from strength to strength after she transitioned to a goalkeeper in the 22/23 season. She has been a game changer on so many different occasions and was pivotal to our much improved season last year.

Sophie Mullett

Sophie joined the club at the end of the 2017/18 season after returning from Nottingham Trent University and has been a common feature ever since for the Poppies, including being part of the team to reach the 2018/19 County Cup Final. The defender also represents Bedford Futsal Club in the National Futsal Series.

Kylie Evans

Kylie returned to the club in the 2016/17 season after a year away and has been a regular feature from then on in, rarely missing a game. The CB was a key part of the many clean sheets kept last year, picking up Player's Player of the season as a result of this. She is also Vice-Captain of the side.

Charlotte Burge

Charlotte is a left back who re-joined the club when it reformed at the start of 14/15 season after two years out having previously played for the club from 10 years old. She was part of the 2018/19 County Cup Final winning team plus two promotions.

Maddie Bates

Maddie is one of the youngest in the side after she joined us from Wellingborough OGs as a 16-year-old a few seasons ago and has come on leaps and bounds since. She has grown in strength and confidence and is a pacey defender who can outrun anyone.

Tiana Robinson

Tiana can play anywhere across the back and joined the side in the summer and has already demonstrated the quality she can bring to the squad. She previously played at Kettering FC from the age of 8 to 15 before leaving to play for Rushden and Diamonds and then Northampton Town u18s.

Claire Gibbons

Claire joined the side in the summer prior to the 2022/23 season and was unfortunate to be ruled out with a knee injury meaning we only saw her a handful of times. Returning from surgery within a year, Claire has started the season strongly, featuring in most pre-season games. She offers us options in the middle of midfield or defence and brings wealth of experience.

Jo Brandon

Jo is captain of the team and a natural born leader. Previously playing for MK Dons, Northampton Town, and Arsenal at youth level, she joined the team following the transition from Burton Park and was a welcome addition. Leading from the front, she can often be seen stopping goals at one end and helping the team to create chances at the other.

Brodie Betts

Brodie is Kettering Town through and through having worked her way through the youth sides right up to the Women's team. She is a force to be reckoned with in the middle of the park who wears her heart on her sleeve for the club. Alongside Kettering Town, Brodie was part of MK Dons and Northampton Town as a youth player and has represented Northern Ireland on the international stage. She is often seen to score a leaping header or two.

Sophie Findlay

Sophie re-joined KTWFC in the 21/22 season after a spell away from the club, signing from Corby S&L. She is another player that can play in a variety of positions and has been a key player for us in our successes. She is a strong, technically gifted player that brings a lot to the side. Sophie is kindly sponsored by CVL Systems Ltd for the 2023/2034 season.

Lucy Hibberd

Lucy has re-signed this season after a period away travelling and has slotted right back in where she left off! Lucy has demonstrated her versatility and talent as she can be seen to play in many different positions. She originally signed from Earls Barton after she returned home from the University of Birmingham.

Holly Moore

Holly is a young attacking midfielder and joined the club this year. Previously, Holly had played at Hinckley and Dunton and Broughton in Tier 6. At youth level, she played for various local teams and took part in national level competitions.

Farah Clark

Farah is one of the new faces in the squad after signing in the summer from AFC Rushden & Diamonds. She has made an immediate impact showing her quality and her strength on and off the ball. Farah has already indicated what she’ll add to the team by getting herself on the score sheet in pre-season.

Abbie Brewin

Abbie is a midfielder who is new to the club having just signed for the upcoming 2023/24 season. Abbie represented the ISFA regional and national teams in her younger years before going on to university where she became BUCS cup champions with Loughborough students. She then went on to play for Moulton Ladies and most recently Northampton Women where she was part of the side that gained promotion to the FA Women’s National League and won the County Cup in 2021/22.

Izzy Clapham

Izzy is a promising 17-year-old winger who came to us from Kibworth Town as she transitioned into the women’s game. A skilful player with plenty of tricks up her sleeve, she has plenty to offer and is without doubt one to watch.

Michelle Smith

Michelle has been a regular face for Kettering Town over the last few seasons after signing in 2018/19 becoming an integral part of the squad. She brings several years of experience and is one of the players you can always count on to provide when asked of.

Emma Robinson

Emma is a winger who joined KTWFC in the 2022/2023 season from rival club Thrapston Town. She spent over 10 years at her previous club where she captained the side for her last few seasons. Emma’s main strength is her pace and she’ll take on any player she comes up against without hesitation.

Kayla Welford

Kayla is an experienced striker with an eye for goal who is capable of dropping into any of the central midfield positions and has been at the club since 2014. After spending her youth career at Rushden and Diamonds, Kayla played for MK Dons and AFC Trinity and represented the Wales u19 squad.

Sophie Till

Sophie is a striker and began at Kettering Town as a youth player in 2007. After a stint away at university, she returned to the club. Alongside playing, she is also the head of girl’s football for the community teams, tasked with overseeing and helping to grow the girl’s only side of the game at KTFC.

Lauren Adams

Lauren Adams signed for the team after a brief break after giving birth to her daughter. Previously playing for MK Dons, the striker has without a doubt been a star player for us and contributed heavily in front of goal. Finishing joint top goal scorer last season, Lauren had a season to remember and has picked up where she left off.
