#16 Laila Rich

Laila’s footballing journey so far:

I didn’t start playing until my 11th birthday. I joined Worcester City Girls U11s, then moved to WBA U12s and stayed there until U16s. I’ve also represented Worcestershire School Girls at both U14s and U16s.

Tell us a bit more about your life off the pitch…

I’m starting at Hartpury in September, I’m enrolled on a sports BTEC with a focus on football.

In the off-season I play other sports, I play rounders for the Crazy Chicks with mom, and I also play touch rugby for Pershore Rugby Club.

Age: 16

Position: Midfielder

What is your favourite treat meal?

I love Indian food, chicken korma with a cheesy naan.

What is your go-to pre-match song?

Ojuelegba- WizkidPink Pony Club by Chappell Roan is my current go-to to but you can’t beat a Zach Bryan song.
