Creative forward Riya Mannu is with the Baggies on a dual-registration basis until the end of 2025/26.

The 19-year-old has experience at WSL 2 level and became the first South Asian player to represent Birmingham City Women in a league match when she came on as a substitute during their 4-0 win over Reading in March of 2024.

Continuing her exciting rise on the senior stage, Mannu scored her first senior Blues goal in her first start for the club in a 2-2 draw with Bristol City, and was also named Professional Game Academy Player of the Season for 2023/24.

And the forward joins Siobhan Hodgetts-Still’s ranks, hoping to make an impact for the remainder of the campaign.
