Lead Women’s Football Writer

I'm a football writer with a sharp focus on the women's game, particularly in England and Europe. I grew up playing the sport myself, so know first-hand the extremely limited visibility and small profile it used to have, making its transformation in the past few years all the more incredible to have watched unfold. I have a keen eye on the next generation of talent to take the game forward, heading up the women's side of GOAL's NXGN series, and, as a big sports fan in general, I'm also a big follower of the men's game, especially the Premier League and EFL.

My Football Story: My earliest football memories are of watching my beloved Bradford City battle relegation and administration alongside my grandad, having held a season ticket at Valley Parade since the 2003-04 season. Fortunately, times would get better through promotion and some notable cupsets. There was always plenty of top-level football on the television at home to balance things out, too, with La Liga action proving to be a particular favourite of mine growing up.

Favourite Footballing Memory: Watching Bradford City beat Arsenal on penalties in the League Cup in the 2012-23 season, as part of an historic run to the final, despite being a fourth-tier side. Swansea had our number big time at Wembley but fortunately we would be back a few months later, as I watched them win promotion for the first time in my time as a season-ticket holder, beating Northampton 3-0.

  1. Revealed: When Arsenal 'hope' to have Williamson back

    Arsenal are hopeful of having Leah Williamson back from injury before Christmas, according to head coach Renee Slegers. The Lionesses captain has been on the sidelines since sustaining a knee injury during England's Euro 2025 triumph that required surgery shortly after the tournament concluded. But she is "progressing well" in her recovery, which hit an important milestone on Tuesday when she did her first training session on the pitch since that procedure.

  2. Another Lionesses concern as Park misses Man Utd's Atletico trip

    England's Lionesses have yet another injury concern on their hands when it comes to their October fixtures after Jess Park was ruled out of Manchester United's final game before the international break. The winger has been in fine form since joining from Manchester City on deadline day but is now a doubt for her country's first game since Sarina Wiegman guided them to another European Championship triumph.
