Aston Villa Women returned to Bodymoor Heath ahead of the 2023/24 season this week.

Carla Ward welcomed back some returning players to the training ground, as well as new signing Lucy Parker.

Those who have been participating in the FIFA Women's World Cup are yet to report back, for obvious reasons, but there were smiles aplenty.

Below are some of the best photos from the team's first session of the pre-season.
