Bristol City signed Rio Hardy from Scottish side Rangers FC in the summer of 2025.

The experienced forward put pen to paper on a two-year deal at Ashton Gate.

Hardy played in the Champions League and won the Scottish Cup in 2024/25 with Rangers.

The 29-year-old also has WSL2 experience, making 30 appearances at the level with Durham in 2023.

She represents more than a position on the pitch.

She represents the ambition, identity, and energy of Bristol City Women FC, carrying the club through every matchday, every challenge, and every moment shared with the supporters.

The connection between player and supporter lives beyond the game itself.
