Alex Greenwood has fast become a household name in women’s football and a role model for fellow teammates at Manchester City one of the clubs captains, with a spell in the same role on the international stage during the Arnold Clark Cup.
The 29-year-old told MEN Sport how she compartmentalises the responsibilities of being a role model both on and off the field. “From young children to the team, it looks very different," she said.
"So, for the team, I want to be a teammate who is approachable, who they can lean on, I'll be honest with them and I'm not going to scream and shout I’m going to have a conversation with them and get to know them and try to get the best out of them because if I can get the best out of my team then we’re going to be successful.
