A promotion two years in the making for Bristol City was sealed by the new and old school of the rebuilt Robins, with the added emotional narrative of Brooke Aspin’s brace after a season of immense struggle for the teenager, all befitting of their brilliant campaign under Lauren Smith.
City secured their return to the Women’s Super League at Ashton Gate, just under two years after they suffered relegation from the top-flight and the need to completely reconstruct and restructure the squad as a result.
With one game to spare, Smith’s side can’t be caught at the top of the Championship as a double by Aspin, Grace Clinton and Ffion Morgan secured a 4-0 victory over Charlton Athletic.
