Rania Oukriss has signed with Portsmouth on a dual registration agreement until December, marking a significant step up from Tottenham academy football to senior ranks. The FA Women’s National League Southern Premier Division outfit provides a competitive environment for the teenager to test herself. Oukriss will continue to train in London on certain days to maintain her connection with Tottenham.

Oukriss has been progressing through the Tottenham ranks since her Under-15 days and impressed this season with a hat-trick for the Under-19 squad against London Bees. Her recent international performances for England Under-19 have also been notable, with an assist on debut against Switzerland and a goal seven minutes into her first start against Bosnia and Herzegovina.

The dual registration agreement allows Oukriss to balance her development between Tottenham and Portsmouth, gaining senior match experience while continuing to train with her parent club on certain days. This setup is seen as providing the best of both worlds for her growth as a player.
