 Aberystwyth Town Women bid farewell to goalkeeper Elen Valentine today after she moved to Newcastle United - who recently announced their plans to turn professional in England's women's third tier. Mae Merched Tref Aberystwyth yn ffarwelio â’r golwr Elen Valentine heddiw ar ôl iddi symudodd i Newcastle United – mae'r clwb wedi cyhoeddi cynlluniau i droi’n broffesiynol yn nhrydedd haen merched Lloegr.  In the first instance, she will be on a dual registration with another English club. Valentine signed for the Seasiders last year, becoming the first female football scholar on the club's scheme with Aberystwyth University, and has been a regular with the Wales under-19 squad. "Elen will be a big loss," said manager Gavin Allen. "She is a hugely ambitious and talented player, and this is a fantastic opportunity for her. We wish her all the very best with the next step of her career." "I’ll always bleed green no matter where I play," said Valentine. "Being at Aber has made me fall in love with football again, and the club staff and girls are the best set I have ever experienced. I will miss every single one so much and I'll look forward to being back at Park Avenue as Aber's biggest fan."  Yn y lle cyntaf, bydd ar gofrestriad deuol gyda chlwb Saesneg arall.
Arwyddodd Valentine i'r Seasiders y llynedd, gan derbyn ysgoloriaeth pêl-droed benywaidd cyntaf ar gynllun y clwb gyda Phrifysgol Aberystwyth, ac mae wedi bod yn gyson gyda charfan dan-19 Cymru. "Bydd Elen yn golled fawr," meddai'r rheolwr Gavin Allen. "Mae hi'n chwaraewr hynod uchelgeisiol a thalentog, ac mae hwn yn gyfle gwych iddi. Dymunwn y gorau iddi gyda cham nesaf ei gyrfa.” “Bydda i bob amser yn gwaedu’n wyrdd ni waeth ble rydw i’n chwarae,” meddai Valentine. “Mae bod yn Aber wedi gwneud i mi garu pêl-droed eto, a staff y clwb a’r merched yw’r set orau i mi ei phrofi erioed. Byddaf yn gweld eisiau pob un yn fawr a byddaf yn edrych ymlaen at fod yn ôl ar Goedlan y Parc fel ffan fwyaf Aber." Comments are closed.
