PEN PICTURE

Mel's midfield play has been a valuable addition to the Youth Team this season.  Tigerish in the tackle and good when using the ball, Mel is able to turn the tables on the opposition with a good pass to set Tottenham going forward.  A determined player, Mel's conversion from goalkeeper at her former club to the midfield fulcrum has benefited Tottenham Hotspur Ladies by turning in some impressive displays in her career with the club to date.
