First football memory

Cara pictured in her Caernarfon Town days. She joined the club from Pwllheli

I didn’t really start football properly until i was about 15, but I remember my first ever game for Pwllheli, coming on as a sub and scoring, and it ended up winning goal of the season

Most memorable game played in

I can’t think of one, but I always enjoyed playing against Rhyl and Llandudno’s game v Cyncoed last year was a good one, beating them 5-3 away

Biggest highlight of football career so far

Playing in the Welsh Premier League

Strengths to your game

Probably my pace, and timing tackles.

Weaknesses

Probably strength as I’m quite short and shooting as I’d love to score some more goals

Best team-mate played alongside

Ffion Owen

Hardest opponent faced

Cara (right) puts in a challenge for Llandudno against the mighty Swansea

Swansea City or Cardiff Met. They play some amazing passing football.

Biggest influence in football

My grandad, he comes to watch every game and will always phone me that night talking about the match and how I played. He was also a really good football player and has coached many teams.

Funniest team mate

Stacey Tradewell

Which team-mate is the best dancer

I’ve not yet got to see any of the Llandudno girls dancing. Maybe a night out will have to be on the cards so I can make my decision.

Swansea City

Tell us something about you we might not know

I once met Chris Coleman outside Dragon Park in Cardiff and went up to him to ask for a selfie and as I was about to take the picture my phone went out of battery, so I ended up having to walk away embarrassed
