A grassroots career started for Emily at Deans Youth and Ladies FC aged 7 she was then scouted by Manchester United CoE aged 8, offered a place but didn't feel ready to step up to elite football so stayed at DYLFC for another year during which time she was captain. She won DYLFC overall award for the best player across 24 squads (all ages) - the Schofield Cup, which was previously won by Ryan Giggs. She was again offered a place at MUFC CoE and this time accepted. Current Manchester United's first choice u17 goalkeeper.

Emily had this to say about joining JBG? campaign organisation, "I am proud to have been asked to become a young patron of Just A Ball Game? Hopefully, other young athletes will be able to relate to my journey, and see that role models don't have to be famous - anyone can be one if they work hard and follow their dream.

I'm looking forward to working with JBG? to help promote equality in sport across all ages and abilities."
