Ever since the Lionesses completed that historic Euros victory in the summer, we’ve wanted to get someone involved in the England set up on the podcast - and having played many times for the U23 national side, Anna Patten is in a perfect position to explain the current state of play in the women’s game and how the Euros success has given a real opportunity for even further growth.
Everyone was swept up by Lioness fever in the summer and the whole nation was captivated by the on-pitch successes of the team and their incredible off-pitch personalities, so it was great to get an even better insight into that team from Anna.
Anna is one of the rising stars in the women’s game and is currently on-loan at Aston Villa from Arsenal. She has worked closely with the likes of England and Arsenal stars such as Leah Williamson and Jill Scott and so has seen first-hand how the profiles of women’s footballers have grown rapidly in recent years with strong media interest, growing attendances and major sponsorship and broadcast deals now coming into the game. It’s an exciting time for the women’s game, and at just 23 years old, Anna is going to be at the forefront of it all…
Listen to this episode to hear Anna discuss the legacy of the Lionesses as well as her own career, motivations and ambitions.
