Kelis Barton Signs With The Women's Football Network

The Women's Football Network is delighted to announce that Kelis Barton, a forward Rugby Borough WFC player, has joined our growing network of talented women footballers.

Who Is Kelis?

Born in Kirkland, Washington, Kelis holds dual USA-England citizenship and arrives at Rugby Borough as a Division Champion with Minnesota Aurora. Football runs in the family: her grandad Frank Barton played professionally in England and for the Seattle Sounders, and Kelis has worn #51 in his honour since she was six. Away from the pitch she holds a degree in journalism and multimedia production.

Joining The Network

Kelis becomes the latest addition to a roster of more than 50 athletes spanning multiple leagues, positions and countries. Through The Women's Football Network she gains access to brand partners, commercial opportunities and a support system built specifically for women footballers looking to grow their profile on and off the pitch.

What's Next

We'll be working closely with Kelis to connect her with partners that align with her values and to share her story with our audience. Welcome to the network, Kelis.
