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.
