Walti highlighted the stark differences in standards between leagues, emphasizing the need for better conditions and investment in women's football globally. She believes that her experiences can help push for improvements in the sport, particularly in environments lacking proper support for female athletes.
Walti's return to the WSL marks a pivotal moment for Brighton, who are investing heavily in women's football. Fans should monitor how her experience influences team dynamics and performance, especially with the upcoming stadium development and ambitions for top league placement.
