Sophie Ingle has signed a two-year extension at Bristol City and says the squad can compete with anyone in the Barclays WSL2 this season.
AISophie Ingle reckons Bristol City can go toe-to-toe with anyone in the Barclays WSL2 this season - and she's put her money where her mouth is by signing a two-year contract extension.
The experienced midfielder insists the title race is wide open, with no side holding a clear advantage. "Any team can beat any team on any given day," is essentially the vibe - and frankly, that's terrifying and exciting in equal measure.
Ingle is buzzing about the improving standard across the division. More competition, better football, bigger stakes. Bristol City, she says, have full belief they can take points off the league's top sides.
Not a bad attitude to have when you're about to enter a campaign with genuine promotion ambitions.
The Wales international also offered a reassuring reminder: it's a marathon, not a sprint. Dropping the opening fixture isn't a death sentence. She's seen teams recover from rough beginnings and still come out on top - lived experience, not empty optimism.
Bristol City fell short of automatic promotion last term, but Ingle views the campaign as a step forward. A new manager, fresh faces in the squad - bedding in takes time. The foundations, she believes, are now firmly in place.
Her decision to extend wasn't complicated. The club's ambitions aligned with her own, and she wants to be part of the journey. Simple as that.
Bristol City kick off their WSL2 campaign against Sunderland on 6 September 2026, as detailed by WSL Full-Time.
