Congratulations to Daisy Bullivant (Bully)!

After just one fantastic season with us, 11-year-old Daisy Bullivant – known to us all as “Bully” – has earned a well-deserved place at the Wolverhampton Wanderers Girls Academy for the 2025/26 season.

Daisy has been an incredible asset to our team, showing maturity beyond her years both on and off the pitch. The girls have looked up to her, and she’s led by example with her attitude, commitment, and love for the game. The coaches are all super proud of what she’s achieved – and will definitely miss her energy, determination, and of course, her cheekiness!

We’ll miss her presence, but we’re excited to see her take this next step. Everyone at the club wishes her the very best as she begins her journey with Wolverhampton – and we’ll be keeping an eye out for her on the TV in years to come!

The future is bright for Bully!

BDPFC would like to congratulate Lacey Wood & Niamh Patrick for being successful in the U16’s Staffs County Trials and both being named in the 25/26 squad!

A great achievement for both girls, having trialled against academy players from around Staffordshire!

A massive well done from us girls, make @bdpfc proud 💪🐦‍🔥❤️

BDPFC would like to congratulate one of our brilliant Phoenix coaches, Dave on completing a 105 mile bike from Wolverhampton to Aberdovey on the 20th of June 2025! Dave raised over £1000 on the day for Lymphoma research which is absolutely amazing!

Dave took to social media and said: “What a ride, it was hot, challenging but motivationally inspiring today, knowing all the support I had been given to raise money for Lymphoma Research Trust. The pot is at £880 which is just amazing for the support deep down for Beth and Mark & Louise Flannery my long long time friends. Never take any day for granted xxx”

Well done Dave, you’ve made the club proud 🐉❤️

BFPFC would like to wish the best of luck to Jim, one of our great club coaches, who is currently on a bike ride from Wolverhampton to Aberdovey! 🚴‍♂️🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿

Jim is raising money for Acorns Children’s Hospice and has currently raised over £1400 which is truly amazing! 🤩

We wish him and his group the best of luck, go and smash it guys!
