Maddi Wilde is the latest new face to join Burnley Women at an exciting time in the team\u2019s history, with their debut Barclays Women\u2019s Super League 2 season now less than eight weeks away.<\/p>\n
The two-time BWSL2 winner has agreed a two-year deal with the Clarets following her departure from London City Lionesses earlier this summer.<\/p>\n
When asked to describe her emotions after signing on the dotted line, she started by saying: \u201cI\u2019m buzzing!<\/p>\n
\u201cIt\u2019s quite exciting to come into a completely new environment, a new place, and a new home.<\/p>\n
\u201cIt\u2019s obviously a little bit nerve wracking at the start as well of concourse, but I\u2019m excited for a fresh start which is important to me.<\/p>\n
\u201cI watch a lot of football, so I think that I can read the game quite well. I like to try and be smart, forward-thinking, and creative, and hopefully that can show on the pitch.\u201d<\/p>\n
Wilde\u2019s career started with Bristol City, where she made 15 appearances as the Robins won promotion in the 2022\/23 season.<\/p>\n
Then came a season-long loan to London City Lionesses in the summer of 2023, and Wilde went on to sign a two-year deal there in 2024.<\/p>\n
The Lionesses earned 43 points to finish top of BWSL2 in 2024\/25 and after a few months as part of their BWSL squad, the right-back joined Celtic in February of this year.<\/p>\n
She earned regular minutes north of the border and added yet more silverware to her CV in the form of the Scottish Cup.<\/p>\n
Now 22, Wilde will be aiming to continue her development in Lancashire and has joined the Women\u2019s team in time for the start of pre-season testing and training.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Maddi Wilde is the latest new face to join Burnley Women at an exciting time in the team\u2019s…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":797869,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[563],"tags":[64,63,596,85],"class_list":["post-797868","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-football","tag-au","tag-australia","tag-football","tag-sports"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/797868","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=797868"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/797868\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/797869"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=797868"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=797868"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=797868"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
