Arsenal and England defender Leah Williamson said she “is more focused than ever to be back on the pitch” after being made an OBE at Windsor Castle.
“Days like today I can celebrate them properly with my family but I am more focused than ever to be back on the pitch.” She said she has spoken to the Prince recently about making “my game grow” and how the women’s game can be integrated with the men’s football. The footballer said she hopes women’s football “continues to shift” and there are more games at big stadiums so “we have a chance to prove that the game belongs there”.
