Rhianne Rush believes “everyone’s hungry to win” at Albion Women after making the switch from Real Bedford.
The 23-year-old joins to bolster the Baggies’ midfield ranks after an impressive campaign at the heart of the Pirates’ operation in the FAWNL Southern Premier.
Also an international with Thailand, Rush joins with aims of propelling Martyn Irvine’s side up the league table and building on their decade-best 2025/26.
And the midfielder says her personal ambitions are shared by those at the club.
She said: “I’m really excited to be here. My first impressions of the place are good, the girls have been very welcoming and the conversations with staff have been great.
“The ambitions of where we’d like to go and the ambitions of the club are fantastic too. Just coming in to train, I’ve got a really good feel for the place and I’m excited to get started.
“We know we want to be at the top end of the division, and it’s something we want to achieve. After seeing the levels of where the team are at, everyone’s hungry to win and you can see that.
“I’m a high-energy, versatile, box-to-box midfielder. I know Zoe (Creaney) from my time at MK Dons, so there’s a familiar face to get to know there already.
“I want to play at the highest level, and I’m very excited to be at the Albion for that. I want to be a leader and build on my experiences I’ve had previously and get even better.
“I feel incredibly excited to be part of this.”
