Wolves Women Mascot: Well done Ella!
Ella had the opportunity to be mascot for Wolves Women in their FA Cup match against Manchester United Women at The SEAH Stadium, Telford United.
Ella is an avid football fan playing locally for Newport Girls Jaguars team, and has been following Wolves Women for the last few years. So much so that during the inspiration day at school in previous years she has dressed up as Beth Merrick, a Wolves Women Player.
A few weeks ago Beth asked Ella personally to be her mascot for the biggest day of the season for Wolves Women last weekend.
Well done Ella, everyone at NJS is very proud of you.
