Ella Hughes
Current Club
Oxford United
Centre mIDFIELD
A left-footed and possession-based defensive midfielder who looks to use her technical ability and leadership to control the pace and flow of the game. Loving to play in tight spaces and out from the back, her ultimate strength is her composure under pressure. In the second and final thirds, she utilises her passing vision to create goal-scoring opportunities.
