Rhian Wilkinson believes Wales' out-of-contract players enhanced their market value by starring in the Women's World Cup qualifying campaign. The manager praised how free agents performed while helping Wales top their group, effectively showcasing their abilities to potential clubs ahead of the summer transfer window. Wilkinson's squad demonstrated quality despite uncertainty over their futures.

One such player is Tianna Teisar, who left Bristol City Women this summer after spending last season on loan at Plymouth Argyle. The 20-year-old academy graduate now faces an uncertain club future while representing her country. Several Wales internationals remain without confirmed destinations for next season, creating a challenging situation for both players and management.

Wilkinson acknowledged the difficulty of supporting players through this transitional period. She wants her squad in environments that nurture development while maximizing their playing potential. The manager pledged to assist players in finding suitable clubs before Wales returns to competitive action.

Wales now turns attention to October's World Cup play-off semi-finals. Their two-legged tie will determine whether Wales reaches its first Women's World Cup. The draw on 18 June will reveal which teams stand between them and qualification.
