There you go rubens, all your fault! You went on the wrong side of the car!

Notts County are delighted to announce the signing of England Ladies international Ellen White on a pioneering joint contract that will see the highly-rated striker available to represent both the men’s and women’s team.

White, who signed for Notts County Ladies from Arsenal ahead of the new FA Women’s Super League season, has caught the eye of Notts boss Shaun Derry in training and has now been added to the squad for the remainder of the men’s season.

The 24-year-old will become the first lady to represent the men’s team and was delighted to have agreed the dual contract, saying: “To have agreed a deal like this, on today of all days, is just fantastic and I’m really looking forward to playing for both Notts County sides, it’s a really exciting prospect.

“It will be a real challenge, but I’m no fool, I wouldn’t have agreed to this if I didn’t think I could perform to my best for both clubs and I just can’t wait to get started now.”

White is currently away on international duty with England and will not be available for this weekend’s Sky Bet League 1 game away to Brentford, but could make her debut in the home game against Port Vale a week later, subject to availability, as the ladies kick-off their season in the FA Cup the following day at home to Coventry City here at Meadow Lane.

Yes. I think the USWNT played against 17 year olds and got trounced. Edit: whoops, badly beaten.

I've played twice out there. It's a drive and a half, but worth it. I play for Aztex, TORSO over-thirty coed rec league. Ever ref for them? I've probably complained about you if you have. :v:

It's pretty varied, the top division (of four) has some really good players, still amateur but quite a few that played through college or for other high-level club teams in the HFA. The bottom division is pretty poo poo, a lot of the teams have a handful of 60+ year old players who have been playing in the league for many, many years and basically use it as an excuse to get outside. Plenty fun, though, really laid back but still a bit competitive.
