A knee injury at 22 ended my time as a player. I retrained in strength and conditioning, but it took a while to believe I belonged on the other side of the touchline.
I found the Riverside Women FC role on Softfootball and was honest in my application about my own injury – it’s why I care so much about prevention. The club told me that was what made my application stand out.
I’ve now been with the team for a full season, and our soft-tissue injuries are down by a third. If you’ve had a setback, your story is part of what you bring.
