The Hillhead Jordanhill product is one of eight players returning to the matchday 23 from last season’s squad, and she believes the group is in a good place ahead of their opening match.

“Training has been very positive and really exciting, the word about always has a good buzz about it, so being able to come back and train with the squad has been really good,” said Fraser.

The winger is one of the players who was with the team last year and has experience on what to expect of these next few months. However, she is ready to apply all the lessons learnt last season and go again stronger as the team chase their first win.

“The energy of this squad is definitely good!” she said.

“All the training sessions so far have been really high on that and we are progressing really quickly, which is a massive positive. So, energy and intent seem to be key strengths of this group.”

She shared her thoughts about the upcoming match that will kick off the Celtic Challenge for Warriors which will be this Friday at The Hive Stadium against Edinburgh.

“Its going to be a good one,” she smiled.

“It is always an interesting match, off the back of last year we have got things to prove, so I think it will be an exciting match.

The team has certain aspects that they look forward to accomplish together and goals set to be achieved during the duration of the competition.

Fraser also stated the goals that she has for herself individually, as a player looking to improve from last year’s performances.

“We look forward to more game time with familiar faces but also new additions, getting to know each other as we play together, represent Warriors again and build that legacy even more,” she said.

“Personal goals would be stay being a part of the squad and getting to run out on that pitch and put my 100% into any game time that I can get”
