Carly Willmott won’t have to go far to continue her soccer career as the Walnut Grove graduate will suit up for the Trinity Western Spartans women’s soccer team in the fall.
The five-foot-six defender will help anchor the Spartans back-line at the centre-back position.
“I like her character, her coachability and her willingness to work hard to grow as as a player,” said Trinity Western coach Graham Roxburgh.
“We like the depth and desire that she will bring to the squad. She is dedicated to the game and showed a desire to be at TWU.”
Willmott played her club soccer with both New Westminster Barcelona and the Fraser Valley Action.
With NW Barcelona, she earned the league title in the Metro Women’s Soccer League U21 A Division and helped the team finish second at the U21 provincial championships.
The Spartans open the Canada West season at home against UBC on Sept. 11.
