Swansea City Women | Season in review

With the 2025-26 Genero Adran Premier season concluded, we take a look back over Swansea City Women's campaign. The Swans secured a third-place finish in the league, having targeted clear development and improvement on the back of missing out on the top-four during the 2024-25 campaign. In Yzzy Taylor's first campaign as head coach, the Swans proved an effective attacking unit, scoring 58 goals. Midfielder Chloe Chivers ended the season as the club's top goalscorer, leading the way with 16 goals in the league whilst also contributing six assists and being named in the Genero Adran Premier Team of the Season. Chivers' teammates Aimee Deacon also found a place in the team of the campaign with 11 goals in the league, as did defender Lucy Finch after a stellar final season at the club.

League round-up

The Swans opened their 2025-26 league campaign with a convincing 4-0 victory over Barry Town United at Jenner Park, before following it up with a first home win of the season against Aberystwyth Town courtesy of goals from Deacon and new signing Eilish Mitchell. A difficult spell would then follow with games against Cardiff City at the Cardiff City Stadium and Wrexham at the Swansea.com Stadium resulting in their first league defeats of the campaign. Another stern test came with the side’s first trip north to face The New Saints at Park Hall. After falling behind to a Zara Gibbs' opener, the Swans fought back superbly to claim a 2-1 victory - a result which would spark an impressive run of form. Taylor’s side would go on to win their next four league matches, defeating The New Saints, Pontypridd United, Briton Ferry Llansawel and Aberystwyth Town. Included in that run were emphatic victories over Pontypridd and Briton Ferry courtesy of 10-1 and 6-1 scorelines at home. November brought the next batch of fixtures against Cardiff City and Wrexham. While the Swans led in both encounters and showed plenty of positive signs in their performances, they ultimately fell to a 3-1 defeat against the Bluebirds at the Swansea.com Stadium before conceding twice late on in a 4-2 defeat at The Rock. The final league match before Christmas saw Swansea return to winning ways in style, claiming a dominant 5-1 victory away to Pontypridd United at the USW Sports Park. It would then be five weeks before the Swans returned to league action after their fixture against The New Saints was rescheduled. Played at the M&P Group 3G, home of Cambrian United, Swansea produced another strong display to record a 3-0 victory. That result was followed by a convincing 7-1 win over Barry Town United at the Swansea.com Stadium before the Swans completed Phase One with a 3-1 away victory over Briton Ferry Llansawel through goals from Sammy Wynne, Deacon and Taite Trivett. Phase Two began on St David’s Day with another trip to Park Hall, where Swansea produced one of their standout performances of the season in a 5-2 victory over The New Saints. Chivers scored four stunning goals, while Mitchell also found herself on the scoresheet, to secure all three points for the Swans. However, Swansea would then endure their most difficult spell of the campaign. A double-header against Cardiff City saw Taylor’s side perform strongly in both fixtures but ultimately suffer a pair of 2-1 defeats, before a heavy 7-1 loss at home to Wrexham and a disappointing 1-0 defeat to The New Saints in the club’s final Swansea.com Stadium fixture.
