What excites you about joining the SRUSA team?

Having being involved in the women’s and girls game, what are your thoughts on the pathway to America?
It is exciting to see how there is more and more opportunities for players who want to go out to America to play and experience the way of life, there is clear elite opportunities out their which is shown from previous players, who have been out there and either stayed out there or some back and ended up signing professional contracts.
