University of Lincoln sports therapy student Weronika Kruszyna has joined Lincoln City FC Women’s first-team.
The University of Lincoln and Lincoln City FC have a longstanding partnership that was recently strengthened by a new coaching agreement that sees both men’s and women’s first team footballers coached by professionals at the club.
Players in the women’s first team at the University will also have clearer pathways through to professional football and can find themselves in contention to play for Lincoln City Women.
Weronika has also recently been awarded one of eight prestigious Sports Scholarships from the University of Lincoln for the academic year 2024/25. She said: “When I knew I would be starting at the University of Lincoln, I contacted several teams including Lincoln City. They invited me to a trials day and shortly after offered me a contract.
“It felt amazing to pull on the Lincoln City shirt for the first time, and I couldn’t wait to get started on a new chapter in my football career. I am incredibly excited about the future.”
Lincoln City Women’s head coach Charlotte Dinsdale added: “Weronika has been a brilliant addition to the squad, and it was a special moment for all of us when she scored her first goal.
“The club works closely with the University of Lincoln throughout all sorts of areas on and off the pitch, with students on placement across the football club whether it’s here in the Academy or covering our match with the communications team.
“Everyone here is excited to see how we can continue this and see more opportunities for University of Lincoln students.”
