THE SAME GAME, JUST WITH LEGGINGS 💫 Wearing leggings when I play is something I get asked about a lot. For me, it started as a way to feel more comfortable & confident on the pitch. As a muslim, modesty is a personal journey, & wearing leggings was one step that felt right.

So excited for the journey ahead, it’s just the beginning… 🤝🤍 @pythaginboots
Last year I posted this and it went viral… a year later and I have officially signed @LaylaBanaras as our first international female footballer 🤯 We will guide her on and off the pitch, ranging from contractual negotiations to performance analysis… Please Welcome Layla!

Pakistani women’s football is going viral… Layla Banaras who incidentally also plays for Wolves and is a Brummy (extra kudus for that)… Just showcased why she should be lining up with Aitana Bonmati. Incredible football iq on display here…

LAYLA BANARAS!!! What a finish! 😍 A great ball to Chelsea Ferguson by Paula Howells. Chelsea fights for it, cuts it back to Sydney Schreimaier who plays it on to Layla. A shot from outside the box and it slots into the bottom corner! LFC 3-1 HUFC #COYR🔴⚫
