Biggest highlight of football career so far
Being a part of the Prestatyn team in 2015 who won pretty much everything there was to win
Best goal scored
Not sure really!! Probably the ones from an awkward angle at long range. Not that fussed on scoring as long as we win
Strengths to your game
Being able to read the game well – both defending and attacking wise! Heading and using my strength to my advantage
Weaknesses
100% my shooting
Best team-mate played alongside
Definitely a tricky one, as I’ve played with many good players but I’d probably go with Ellie Sandiford from when we played at Prestatyn. We linked up really well together, top player and a wicked left foot on her
Hardest opponent faced
Probably say Llanfair
Biggest influence in football
100% my dad Mark. Always been my No1 supporter from day one, he’s not afraid to tell me the truth if I’ve had a bad game or where I can improve. Always pushing me to be the best I can be! I wouldn’t be where I am today if he wasn’t for him.
Funniest team-mate
Have to give this one to Maisie Turner, she comes out with some weird things
Favourite away ground
It used to be Airbus but that’s now my home ground so I’m not sure, maybe Wrexham, with the facilities they have.
Other sporting achievements
Probably winning most sports days during school! Haven’t really taken up much sport outside of a school environment as I just focused on football from a very young age
Personal football ambitions
Don’t really have many set, just focus on the current season and build on it in the upcoming season.
Best country visited
America – Florida
Favourite chocolate
Spoilt for choice but it’s got to be a Kinder Bueno for sure
Best film seen
Too many to pick from, out of the most recent ones to come out, it’ll be The Gentlemen but otherwise, Home Alone tops it
Current favourite song
Don’t really have one, I’ll listen to anything?
Are you typical of your zodiac sign
Definitely! Mom’s always referring to it!
Favourite TV show
Prison Break, A League of Their Own and Friends
TV show you dislike most
Mrs Brown’s Boys, absolutely hate it
Best quality as a person
Always give 100% and more in anything I do! Trustworthy and always willing to help anyone who needs it
Worst fault
Temper
Best live show/concert seen
Mcbusted, rarely go to any so…
Favourite female footballer
Jordan Nobbs or Jill Scott
Tell us something about you we might not know
Probably the shyest and quietest person you’ll ever until you get to know me or I’m comfortable around you.
