Bristol Academy quartet Mary Earps, Loren Dykes, Jasmine Matthews, and Frankie Brown have committed themselves to the Vixens ahead of the new FA WSL 1 campaign.

England Under-23s goalkeeper Earps played every match for Bristol last season, having joined from Birmingham City in March.

Earps’s Under-23s team-mate Matthews has been at the club since she was 16, and is readying herself for her fifth season in women’s football’s top division.

Wales full-back Dykes is entering her sixth campaign with Bristol, and she featured in 17 games last season.

Scottish international Brown joined Dave Edmondson’s side from Hibernian, and she has earned 66 caps for her country.

The west country outfit recently lost captain Corinne Yorston, who signed for FA WSL 2 side Yeovil Town.

Jemma Rose, Alex Windell, Laura Del Rio, Natalia and Natasha Harding have also left the club.
