Exeter City Women are delighted to announce the signing of Ffion Llewellyn, subject to FA registration!
The commanding central defender joins the club from Cheltenham Town, where she won their Supporters' and Players' Player of the Season award during the 2026/27 season.
Former Welsh youth international Ffion has previously played for Cardiff (now Gwalia United), Cardiff Met and Bridgwater United, the former she captained.
She has also appeared in the Champions League for Cardiff Met, appearing in the 2019/20 groupstage against Hibernian, Slovenian side ŽNK Mura and and Georgian team Tbilisi Nike.
Ffion has featured several times against the Grecians in recent seasons, and is now excited to be working under Abbie Britton, who she once played alongside.
"I"m really excited to get started, my first day was really good," said Ffion.
"Travelling down and getting into the squad was nerve racking but really exciting, I kind of feel like I've been here forever after just one session so that's a really good feeling!
"I've known Abbie for a number of years, she was actually my captain at one of my first senior teams, which was also tier three then. It's a bit of a full circle moment with Abbie!"
On bringing Ffion to Devon, Abbie Britton said: "I'm absolutely delighted to finally secure Ffion, as I've been after her for over two years now!
"She has real quality in the ball, is a very strong one-on-one defender, and is brave in possession, so will fit into our backline perfectly. Fi is someone I’ve known for a long time as I watched her grow up while playing together at Cardiff, and I know she’s going to be a huge asset to the team."
Ffion will wear the number 13 for the 2026/27 season, and if you would like to sponsor our new recruit, please contact our Commercial team on commercial@ecfc.co.uk.
Welcome, Ffion!
