Rianna Jarrett returns home to sign for Wexford

Rianna Jarrett has returned to Wexford Youths ahead of the upcoming SSE Airtricity Women's National League season.

The Ireland striker has spent the last three years in England, signing for Brighton in January 2020, before moving to London City Lionesses ahead of the 2021-22 campaign.

Previously, the 28-year-old had spent nine years at Wexford and will now begin her second stint with her native club.

Jarrett joined Wexford for the inaugural WNL season back in 2011 and won three league titles and three FAI Cups during her time at the club with a sensational record of 99 goals in her 108 appearances.

The striker was named WNL Player of the Year in 2018 and 2019.

"I'm excited to be back playing with Wexford Youths, it’s going to be a fun couple of weeks before the season starts," said Jarrett.

"I’m excited to get back working with Stephen (Quinn) and the team, there’s a lot of familiar faces that I’ve played with previously like Kylie Murphy, Ciara Rossiter, Lolly Conlon, Edel Kennedy and Lauren Dwyer who have all been there from the start.

"The recent announcement of Emily Corbet coming in is exciting. She hit the ground running last year with Athlone and hopefully I can partner up with her and we’ll be a good strike force.

"For me obviously I've been out injured for the last 12 months, the next couple of weeks are about building fitness, building form and obviously building connections in training so I’m really looking forward to getting started this week with the girls."
