Aston Villa Women are delighted to announce the permanent signing of Anna Patten!
The defender has put pen-to-paper on a three-year contract following two separate loan spells with the club.
Patten first joined Villa on a short-term loan in 2022 before re-joining from Arsenal for the entire 2022/23 campaign.
The 24-year-old has made 33 appearances in all competitions across two seasons and has now committed her future to claret & blue.
Manager Carla Ward said: "This is a huge signing for us."
"Patsy has had two successful loan spells and has already played a big part in our journey so far. We’re delighted she’s enjoyed her time here and wants to continue, as we see her playing a significant part in our next steps."
Welcome back, Patsy!
