After experiencing college football in the USA both Yasmin and Mia will be looking to make their mark in the Genero Adran Premier this season with the club now semi-professional.

As a result of the new set up, all players will be on professional contracts and will have access to a range of world-class facilities and coaching at the club’s Park Hall home, including a state-of-the-art industry leading gymnasium.

Head coach Shauna Duffy said: “I am excited to have signed both Yas and Mia ahead of the upcoming season.

"They join the club with a good football background following their recent scholarships in the USA. They bring plenty of quality, technically and physically they stood out throughout the open sessions a few weeks ago, but they are still only 22 so have room to grow at the club as well which is also extremely pleasing. 

“Both have a great attitude towards the game and I am looking forward to working with them throughout the season ahead.”

Yasmin Evans said: “I am delighted to sign for The New Saints. They are a club that I know very well having grown up in the area and previously having played for, so it’s a pleasure to sign for the club.

"TNS is a club that are progressing really well on and off the pitch, so it’s somewhere I know I’ll be able to play my best football and keep developing as a player. I am excited for the season ahead and seeing what we can achieve.”

Mia Evans echoed the sentiments, saying: “I am so pleased to sign for The New Saints, it’s a great club and there’s lots happening on and off the pitch that make it an attractive place to play football.

"Having recently returned from America, I am looking forward to meeting my new teammates and having a successful season when everything gets underway.”
