Football: FirstPoint USA sign Onchan's Ruby Palmer

She's the second Manx player to be signed by agency this month

Another Isle of Man footballer is set to benefit from signing with a US-based sports scholarship agency.

Onchan AFC's Ruby Palmer will join FirstPoint USA as part of the organisation's class of 2025.

Founded in 2001 and headquarted in Manchester, FirstPointUSA assists athletes in a wide range of sports in the process of securing scholarship opportunities at American universities.

Having represented the Island since Under-10's level, Palmer is also currently the youngest player to have scored for the Isle of Man senior women's side.

The striker was part of the national squad which secured women's football bronze at the 2023 Island Games in Guernsey.

She becomes the second Manx competitor to be snapped up by the organisation this month after FirstPoint USA also signed Peel AFC's Louis Bajard for next year's intake.
