The 19-year-old midfielder has become the second youngster to make the step up from our Under-21s side to the First Team this summer after Sacha Lewis.
A Scotland youth international, Oldroyd joined the Club in October 2025 from Manchester United and immediately impressed in our debut PGA Under-21s season under Izzy Christiansen.
And the midfielder says the guidance she’s received from Christiansen – part of our WSL title-winning side in 2016 – as well as the overall experience as part of our Next Gen, has been invaluable.

She said of Christiansen: “I couldn’t ask for a better manager to be fair. She cares about you as a person and a player. She’ll give you extra time, giving you tactical details. She’s been really great.
“It’s unbelievable, the first year of Next Gen. The girls around us all, we’ve had a blast during the season, so it’s been really good.
“It’s a nice way to put it, that one of your friends can get to that point and to have them to look up at me as a role model.
“If you’re dedicated and you put the hard work in, you’ll get the result out of it.”
