“She has played a major part in the Club’s success in the last season and a half and I am delighted that she is being recognised for her achievements by the National Set up.”

The Camp takes place from Monday 24th to Friday 28th January and the midfielder will be put through her paces by the England coaching staff. The news caps off a wonderful year for Deanna and Gillingham Ladies FC.
