USWNT emerging star Trinity Rodman has expressed her delight after her place on her country's roster for the World Cup was announced with the help of a famous family friend.
The 21-year-old forward comes from an illustrious sporting family, with her father being the legendary former basketball star Dennis Rodman. Unlike her dad and brother, the court was not her calling, however, and her decision to pursue a career in football has been an inspired one.
The Californian has excelled while turning out for National Women's Soccer League (NWSL) outfit the Washington Spirit, notching 19 goals so far in 63 outings, with her solid start to her career having caught the eye nationally. Her 17 caps so far for the USWNT have yielded a couple of strikes as well as the U.S. Soccer Young Female Player for 2021.
