Albion Women are delighted to announce the signing of Jess Collyer on a permanent deal, subject to league approval. The 21-year-old forward joins after a successful spell at Loughborough Lightning, where she became the club’s all-time leading appearance holder. A Wales youth international who has academy experience with West Ham United, Collyer also scored 18 times for Lightning during the 2024/25 campaign, while also playing a crucial role in their survival in the FAWNL Northern Premier last term. Jess switches to the Baggies with high hopes of building on Albion’s decade-best league finish in 2026/27.
