Lottie Cunningham
Current Club
London City Lionesses
Right Midfield
A pacey and tireless right midfielder who thrives on high-speed runs, relentless pressing, and dynamic movement up and down the flank. Excellent stamina and contributes both offensively—delivering crosses, beating defenders with quick dribbles, and linking up play—and defensively by tracking back to support the full-back. Lottie’s agility and speed make her a threat in counterattacks, while her high work rate ensures she stays involved for the full 90 minutes.

“Lottie is a tenacious and determined young women who is expertly able to combine the demands of high-level sport with maintaining excellent academic standards. Lottie joined Wilmington Grammar School for Girls when she was 11 and has consistently been one of our top academic performers in the year group. This was proven through an excellent set of GCSE results with an average point score of 8.25 (where the maximum is 9). Her personality of someone who is determined but friendly and outgoing led her to have a wide group of friends. Since starting in the sixth form, Lottie has been able to make the step up in terms of rigour and independence in her chosen A-Levels of Psychology, Physical Education, and Sociology; this has led her to be predicted A*AA in the first data cycle. Her teachers are glowing about her mindset, being enquiring, independent, and fastidious to detail. Even more impressive is her ability to combine an excellence in academics to performing well for her team outside of school. Lottie always ensures that when she is absent to attend matches that any work is completed, and any areas of uncertainty are followed up with subject staff. Lottie would be an asset to any programme that she attends.”
