“She has now been playing with both for a couple of season. She plays for Wednesday on Saturdays and Mansfield on Sundays.

“It has really built up her confidence and this last season she won Players' Player of the Year for both clubs.

“She has also done a refereeing course with Nottinghamshire FA as well for a possible different avenue for the future as the more strings you have to your bow the better.

“But for now she wants to play more than anything.

"She loves the team element of football and also the social element. She has done PE as an option at Highfield School in Matlock so this suits her and is the way she wants to go.”

She added: “I think the football has helped her confidence after being diagnosed with dyslexia. She feels she excels at sport which is nice and gives you confidence when you have had a diagnosis like this.

“The Lionesses have certainly inspired her – they have been amazing. This is definitely the time to be in women's football. And the Lionesses give inspiration that there are careers in football for women. It is really up and coming at the moment.”
