Young Isobel gains a coveted place at Arsenal FC Youth Academy!
Young Isobel Rawdon just loves playing football!
She spends every moment either playing football or thinking about football - yeah she loves all things football and with the rise of the women's game has become more excited.
She current plays in our U8s mixed team for her dad who is the coach of the team and proud as any parent could be of her achievement.
Isobel was initially selected to go through the Beds FA England Lionesses Pathway scheme for up and coming female players. After successfully progressing through this Isobel was spotted by Arsenal and invited to trials for their youth academy.
After three weeks of trials, Isobel got selected and was offered a place playing up a year in their U9 academy squad!
Leighton United FC has a historic relationship with Arsenal FC having held charity and memorial matches at our grounds that featured ex-Arsenal players so it is fantastic to see the next generation of footballers continuing the relationship.
Massive congratulations Isobel!
Well done - we look forward to seeing you in Arsenal Ladies First Team!
