Wolves Women have begun their first season as a fully professional side after promotion to Women's Super League Two in May, marking a significant step up following years in the amateur game. The club, based at the Sir Jack Hayward training ground in Compton, is preparing new signings for their opening WSL2 home fixture against Sheffield United, with head coach Dan McNamara reflecting on the transformation from cramped early training sessions to a purpose-built professional setup.

Promotion followed a playoff win over Plymouth, after Wolves had previously topped tier three's northern division in 2022 only to lose out to Southampton, and were left "heartbroken" in 2025 when the club failed to apply for a promotion licence despite finishing second. Under new executive chair Nathan Shi, investment has followed, including private changing cabins, a meeting and analysis room, and further training pitches to come. The club has also appointed Russ Fraser, previously of Reading, West Ham, Leicester, Liverpool and Al-Qadsiah, as head of women's and girls football, while many players have given up their day jobs to turn fully professional.
