In the Watford Women players’ page, Sophie McLean is listed as a midfielder – but that’s all changed.
“Oh the clean sheets, 100%. You don’t want to concede goals,” she said instantly, before pausing and adding, “I sound like a defender now don’t I!” “Because it’s a more central position, that’s where I feel most comfortable and so it didn’t bother me at all. “But I enjoy having the ball and you get so much of it by being at the back. The three of us probably have more of the ball than anyone else on the pitch.“In defence you get more time, but you also find you’re heading the ball a lot more than when you’re playing in midfield.
“I’m really enjoying the new position. I feel like since Christmas I’ve really come back into it. I don’t think I was quite on it at the start of the season.”“My brother is only a year older than me and I always used to go along to his training sessions,” she explained. “I don’t think I was ever an amazing player. I think I’ve always just worked really hard to get into the positions I’ve been in.
During her four years at Spurs she was part of a team that won two promotions and ended up in the Super League – a point at which she could have gone ‘all in’ on her footballing career.“I saw many girls that I played with give up their careers and going into full-time football. “Without the security of a contract longer than a year, I didn’t just want to give everything else up.
“I think when I joined I knew about half the squad, and that made it nice as I was coming into a club where I knew so many people.” “I had prepared myself to drop down a league, train twice a week and perhaps take it a little easier.
