"I used to sign my brother for my teams," says Amy Jenkins, captain of Aberystwyth Town Women. "So now hopefully he can sign me for some of his."

For Amy and her amateur team-mates, the bright lights of football's biggest stages can feel very far away from their windswept training sessions by the Welsh coast.

But this year, for the first time, they will feature alongside global stars such as Alessia Russo and Aitana Bonmati on the latest edition of popular computer game Football Manager.

"I was a bit shocked to be honest," said Amy, 29. "It's nice that a small town in Wales gets the opportunity to be on such a big game."

As an eight-team league whose players are still largely unpaid, the top flight in Wales – or Genero Adran Premier – seems an unlikely candidate to sit alongside the likes of the Women's Super League in England, or the American NWSL, on the game.
