Exeter City Women are delighted to announce the signing of central midfielder Leah Burridge, subject to FA registration!

The hard working central midfielder has joined from fellow Women's National League side Oxford United, where she was captain. Technically this is a return to Exeter City for 28-year-old, as she originally joined the club as a ten-year-old in the Girls' Development Centre.

Leah made her senior debut at Yeovil in 2015 while the Glovers were a WSL outfit, before moving onto Plymouth Argyle, Bridgwater United and Wolves.

On bringing Leah into the club, Abbie Britton said: "I'm really excited to have someone with so much experience as Leah join us. 

"She is someone I have admired for a while, her leadership qualities and knowledge of the division will be hugely beneficial for us."

Speaking to Leah, she was ecstatic to be making the move back to Devon. "The club's got lots going for it, it's exciting, it's got a great vision, I'm excited to do the full circle.

"At the age of 10 I fell in love with football being at this club," Leah explained to us, "So it's nice coming back to a place where I know I'm going to get this feeling."
