After years of hard work, setbacks and rebuilding, Wolves enter the 2026/27 campaign ready to compete in the Women’s Super League 2 for the first time in their history. 

The Old Gold secured promotion to the WSL2 by winning a dramatic post-season play-off final on Monday 4th May 2026. Wolves edged Plymouth Argyle 1-0, which saw Charlotte Greengrass 64th minute goal decide the game. This marks a huge moment for the club, with Wolves also transiting as a fully professional team for the first time. 

Wolverhampton Wanderers Women head coach Dan McNamara spoke to the media ahead of his side’s FA Women’s National League Tier 3 play-off match against their Southern Division counterparts Plymouth Argyle at the Pirelli Stadium on Monday.

After securing second place in the Women's National League Premier Division table, Wolves earned promotion to the Barclays Women’s Super League 2, as the Old Gold secured professional status for the first time in the club’s history. 

Wolverhampton Wanderers are a club striving to achieve big in the FA Women’s National League. Jenny Wilkes has been Chair of the Wolves Girls and Women’s Football Club since 1999, when women’s football was still in its infancy, and the women’s section of the club was struggling to survive.

She led the charge during a period of development that saw the Old Gold become fully integrated into the club, and now sits on their advisory board, developing new pathways for young women from youth up to academy level.

Wilkes is also the president of the Official Supporters’ Club. She gave an insight to the growth of the club, Wolves’ long-term ambitions and the premise of promotion in future seasons.
