Current Club

Ilkeston Town F.C.

 

Centre Midfield

An intelligent player with exceptional work rate who is able to read the game well when playing centre midfield but also versatile as able to play anywhere attacking (striker, centre mid, left wing). A committed team player who is full of drive and passion for the game. Predominantly right-footed but has the capabilities to score, cross and pass with her left foot. Utilises her speed, control and strength when driving with the ball down the left wing. Never shies away from a tackle and isn't afraid to make a challenge as well as head the ball. Will strike at every goal scoring opportunity and remain calm and composed when doing so.

Having had the privilege to have coached Lauren over the years, both closely and in a team, it has been a real honour to see her progress not just as a player but as a person as well. Her focus, determination and drive to want to reach the top shows in each session and game. Lauren is such a role model to others and anyone wanting to play at a top level should pay close attention to the work Lauren puts in.

Lauren is an incredible talent who can operate a number of positions. Her attitude to learn and better herself always is outstanding and her quality to improve the level of performance of players around her speaks high volumes of the player Lauren is. Lauren showcases great attributes to her game. With her high level of fitness, this gives her great energy to be at the top of her game throughout. With this she can be very flawless with her dribbling to beat players and has always shown a great eye for goal, with finishing from outside and inside the box being a big factor to Lauren’s game too. Not only this, but she can pick out a pass from out of nowhere and links up exceptionally well with her teammates too. Lauren for me is someone which is destined to reach the very top and a huge asset for any team wanting a player the calibre of what Lauren possesses.

Lauren would thrive and give her all if given this amazing opportunity at your college. She would relish the chance and give her absolute best to every opportunity given to her.
— Callum - Coach
Lauren is a determined and resilient individual with a bright future ahead of her. She is passionate about football and this focus and dedication has encompassed her academic future as well as she works hard to achieve highly in all areas. Lauren is personable and mature, thriving in one-to-one and small group conversations. I am incredibly proud of the person Lauren has grown into and I have no doubt that she will excel in the future if she continues on the path she has set herself.
