Sarah Thompson signs for the Royals!

Reading FC Women are pleased to announce the signing of Sarah Thompson, who joins the Royals ahead of the 2025/26 season.

We welcome the defender having previously been under Ed’s guidance at Maidenhead United, she captained the side to their Berks & Bucks Senior Cup win in March 2025.

"I'm buzzing to be returning to my childhood club, one that I have supported since I was a young girl and was fortunate enough to play for in my teens. The team is gelling well together over pre season and I can't wait for the league to get started. Up The Ding!" - Sarah Thompson

Sarah was a stalwart at Maidenhead United, having joined them in 2019. She's no stranger to the Royals however, having played in the Academy from 2011 to 2014 before heading off to university and returning back to Berkshire where she spent the 2018/19 season with Woodley United.

"Legend. Huge signing for us! Vital to what we’re building here" - Ed Jackson-Norris
