Kenni Thompson Retained By Bournemouth
AFC Bournemouth Women have announced a significant boost to their squad for the upcoming 2025/26 season, confirming that 13 key players from their double-winning campaign, including Bermudian international Kenni Thompson, have agreed fresh terms with the club.
Thompson was an integral part of the Cherries’ memorable 2024/25 season, which saw them clinch both the FA Women’s National League Division One South West title and the National Plate competition. Her contributions, which included scoring in the Plate Final against Cheltenham Town, were vital as the club achieved promotion from the fourth tier of English women’s football.
Manager Steve Cuss expressed his delight at the retained list: “We’re really pleased that the 13 players have agreed to be with us again for next season. They were all a big part of the promotion-winning squad and I am delighted they are going to be with us for the season ahead.”
“We are going into a new league, a new era, some of those players have played at that level before but there’s a majority who haven’t, so I think there’s a real excitement from the group as we move forward.”
