Sophie arrived at the Club in June 2026 from AFC Bournemouth after being named the FA WNL Southern Premier Division Player of the Year for the 2025/26 season.

The Ascot-born forward came through Reading’s academy and had spells at London Bees and Charlton Athletic before joining Portsmouth in 2022. She racked up 60 goal involvements in her first two seasons, helping Pompey secure promotion to the WSL 2. 

A fans’ favourite, Quirk then scored nine goals in 26 games as Portsmouth consolidated their place in the second-tier of the women’s game.

Her stellar performances earned her the Championship’s Rising Star award during the 2024/25 campaign, before she departed for Bournemouth. Sophie then scored a remarkable 29 goals in 33 games as Bournemouth finished third.
