One of the best parts is having access to world-class sim equipment right at college, which has massively helped me sharpen my skills and stay race-ready. It’s an ideal place for any athlete looking to balance sport and education at an elite level.

Loughborough College has played a massive part in helping me grow both on and off the pitch. As a distance learner, the flexibility they offered meant I could fully commit to my training and matches with Leicester City and England, without falling behind in my studies.
