The jump from tier three provides a challenge for Dan McNamara’s side and few players hold a greater responsibility than captain Anna Morphet.

Since her arrival from Aston Villa in 2018, the defender has played a crucial role in Wolves’ recent success. Promotion brings unfamiliar challenges, though. Wolves will be facing full-time professional clubs every week with higher-quality opposition and expectations unlike anything the squad has previously experienced. Wolves must now prove that they belong among some of the country's most established professional clubs. The situation is perfect for a leader like Morphet, who has developed individually as a player alongside the growth of the football club in recent years.
