RETIREMENT THOUGHTS
She considered retiring from the sport due to criticism she received online following the 2019 World Cup in France. She credits former Manchester City coach Nick Cushing for helping her rediscover her passion for football. "I really did struggle with the criticism off the back of it [the World Cup]. There were times when I thought, 'Is this actually for me? Do I want to play football any more?' I've had many conversations with Nick and he's definitely helped me to fall back in love with football. He takes the seriousness away and that was something important for me. I just needed to get back to loving it and having fun." (newchain.uk, 24 Jan 2020; theguardian.com, 03 Jan 2020; mancity.com, 23 Jan 2020)
