Zynia Delglyn is a Pirate

Charlie Bill has added further quality to his squad with the signing of attacking talent Zynia Delglyn from Loughborough Lightning.

Zynia Delglyn joins the Pirates after two impressive seasons with Lightning, where she established herself as a key player in one of the country’s most exciting university football programmes. 

During the 2024/25 campaign, Zyn played a pivotal role in Loughborough’s unbeaten FA Women’s National League Division One Midlands title-winning season, making 26 appearances and scoring 16 goals as the club secured promotion to Tier Three.

She continued her development last season in the FA Women’s National League Northern Premier Division, making 19 appearances and scoring three goals as Lightning successfully retained their Tier Three status. During the campaign, Delglyn also reached the milestone of 50 appearances for the club, highlighting the impact she made during her time at Loughborough. 

Comfortable operating across the front line, and midfield, Delglyn brings pace, creativity and an eye for goal to Charlie Bill’s side. 

Bill said "Zyn came in straight away and showed exactly the kind of technical quality we were looking for. Having previously been at Loughborough, she's built up a wealth of experience in both Tier 3 and Tier 4 of the women's game, and that really shows in everything she does. 

She's settled into the group brilliantly and has already made an excellent impact throughout pre-season. We're excited to keep working with her and we're confident she'll play an important role for us this season."

Zyn on joining "I’m really excited to be part of the club and I’m looking forward to seeing what this season brings. I can’t wait to get going, hopefully make a positive contribution to the team and have a successful season. Up the Pirates!"

Welcome to the Pirates, Zyn.
