Durham City Ladies Football Club have linked up with Durham City AFC as part of its ambition to grow as a club and benefit from the new facilities in the pipeline at New Ferens Park.
It is hoped that this partnership will open up new opportunities for Durham Ladies. The club's ambition in preparation for next season is to set up an Under-14 girls' team to act as a feeder team into the senior women's side. The women's side currently compete in the Northern League First Division.
Dionne Martens, secretary of Durham City LFC said: "We are very excited about the new facilities at New Ferens Park which will give our club a boost."
Stewart Dawson, chairman of Durham City AFC said: "We are extremely pleased that Durham City Ladies have come on board as we are keen to offer opportunities for both men's and women's football within Durham City.
"We are very ambitious as a club and we are confident that this partnership will have significant benefits for both clubs as well as for the wider community."
