“Lauren’s actually going to be starting with Leeds United in September, with their emerging talent centre,”She spoke.
Mrs Laville said she hopes the Women’s Euros will “encourage more girls to realise that there are local girls’ teams”.

The family will attend the final at Wembley Sunday with their flag and perhaps less face-painting than at the semis.
