Kelly Fripp first arrived at AFC Bournemouth in the August of 2021, becoming the club's third signing that summer.
The Dorset-born centre-back joined from Southampton where she'd been since the age of 17, last season playing her football in the National League.
With the Cherries having their application of upward movement successful in May 2021, she'll bring a wealth of experience to the team, who are looking to continue their rise up the football pyramid.
Despite playing in defence, Fripp's first Cherries goal came quite soon into her time at the club, netting in the second league game of the season to help secure a 1-1 draw with Exeter.
She'll be hoping to continue that impact up both ends of the pitch.
