Only 12 months ago, Team GB took to the Olympic stage in Tokyo, but one player was conspicuous by their absence after being left out by Hege Riise. A year later and she’s become one of, if not the most impactful player the Lionesses have at their disposal.
That player is 27-year-old Arsenal forward Beth Mead. After having one of her best seasons to date for both club and country, she speaks about having a point to prove after a setback, but also how there is always room for improvement.
“Obviously it was disappointing last summer,” said Mead, “But would I be the player I am today if that didn't happen? Maybe not. I'm enjoying my football, I'm happy out there on the pitch and again, that is showing in my performances, and hopefully, I can bring that into this summer's Euros.”
