Elsa, of Burley in Wharfedale, has been playing football since she was five and plays midfield for Bradford City AFC Women’s Under 23 team. She loves sport and was part of BGS’s gold medal-winning team when she represented English schools in the ISF World Schools Cross Country Championships, in Slovakia, earlier this year.

The teenager enjoyed watching the England Women’s Football team win the World Cup and hasn’t ruled out the possibility of following in their boots one day while juggling her ambitions to be a vet.

“It was amazing to watch the games,” she said. “It’s a shame the sport has never received the coverage earlier, particularly as they’ve proved they can bring it home!”
