After winning the double in their highly successful EMWRFL campaign, Sheffield FC Women manager Graham Abercrombie has given his side one clear message ahead of the upcoming National League season.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

The 2024\/25 campaign saw Sheffield FC Women<\/a> bounce back from their disappointing season prior, which saw them crash out of the National League.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In a highly competitive EMWRFL season, The World\u2019s First Football CLub would have some stiff competition, notably going toe-to-toe with the likes of Chesterfield Ladies, and Rotherham United Women, the latter of which Graham Abercrombie\u2019s side would face in a feisty League Cup Final tie.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Abercrombie joined The Club shortly after the start of the season, and was able to help them to a famous league win, whilst tying down an impeccable run, both home and away.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Sheffield FC boss has wasted no time to discuss the upcoming season, though, as speaking to the club\u2019s media, Abercrombie made one thing abruptly clear when discussing recruitment and the goal for the next campaign.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

What Graham Abercrombie said when discussing Sheffield FC Women\u2019s recruitment plans<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Despite an impeccable campaign, which ended with a fantastic League Cup win against Adam Rawlings\u2019 Rotherham United, Abercrombie has no plans to settle with the current crop of players, emphasising that they need \u2018competition for places\u2019.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cAbsolutely. There’s no doubt about it,\u201d said Abercrombie when asked about whether he will be adding to his ranks this summer. \u201cWe’ve got to ensure that we get the best out of each other because of that competition, and that’s only going to happen if we bring in quality that’s better than what we’ve already got. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cSo we’re not going to just take numbers for the sake [of it]. We’re not going to look at anybody who doesn’t add to what we’ve got, but we will be looking at people who can contribute.Good people, selfless, open minded, grafters, self-motivated, really willing to go out there and have some some, get some game craft, really understand what the game’s about, some football intelligence. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cYou’ve got all those things to come and play for, right. And that’s what we’ll be looking for. We’ve got some targets.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
