Fuchs on Dix: “We are very excited to bring Sophie into our Wildcat family. Her maturity and experience with both her club (Pembroke Wanderers) and representing her country (Ireland U16s and 19s) will be massive for us. She’s an athletic jack-of-all trades player, dangerous in attack, strong defensively, and can play anywhere on the field for us.”
