Louise Crofts

21 year old Louise joined the Club in 1991 at the age of 12. She was originally an outfield player that went in goal because of her height, now it is her best position. She is currently in her last year as a student at Staffordshire University, but hopes to transfer closer to home next year when she will attend Loughborough University for a years teacher training. Also a keen wildlife expert, just ask her about that real Panda that was on the pitch at
Tranmere Rovers in 1992!!!!

Keighley is the joker of the squad, always preventing us from getting too serious. She has been with the Club since 1992 when she was 9 and has since played at every age group. Now 17 she has seized her chance at this level after being moved into the squad at the start of the season. A versatile and determined player with a great future.

At the time she was without a Club, but was soon persuaded to join our north Nottingham rivals, Calverton, where she played in their Under 16 team for the rest of the season. She was then selected for the Centre of Excellence at Chesterfield, and at the start of this season joined the Chesterfield, making an immediate impact in the First team squad. After only 12 months playing experience Rachel is proving to be a real find.

Booker lives for football, and is always wanting to know how to improve her game. She has an FA Coaching Certificate and also works at the Centre of Excellence. An honest, hard working player who expects nothing less than 100% from herself and her teammates.

Sarah Smith
Fwd
At the age of 14 Sarah is one of the most exciting prospects at the Club. She has stepped up to Senior football with all the assurance and poise of a more mature player, and has shown that her goalscoring prowess will not be restricted to the junior game. Sarah is a powerful player, with good pace and an eye for goal. Her appearances are limited only by her involvement with the Club's U16 side.

Jo Potter
Mf / Fwd
Jo is another of the U16 squad pushing into First team reckoning. She is a genuinely 2 footed player, with superb technique and an ability to play off the first touch. She rejoined the club this season after a spell at Calverton, and is also a member of the Centre of Excellence.
