Man City ace waits on medal
MEGAN Campbell is waiting to hear if she will be awarded an Women’s Super League medal after her club Manchester City won the title for the first time in their history.
The Drogheda native has played just four matches for the top English professional side since joining them owing to injuries, missing out on most of the season domestic as double-win-wellwell as winning the Sky Blues’ run too the last 16 Championsof the Women’s ms League where they have been drawn against Danish side Brondby.
Reflecting onn what has been a mixed start to herer professional soccer career, the formerr Our Lady’s College Greenhills student (pictured) said:
‘With all the bad luck iin theh world, I had just earned my position in the team, before unfortunately re-injuring myself, this time on my left ankle, requiring surgery and a four-month recovery.
‘It hasn’t been easy and some days are better than others, but I’m over the worst of it now and just last week I finally got back running on the green stuff again.
‘Thankfully the team have had a great season in terms of winning trophies and our success in the Champions League so far, but I do feel like I haven’t played that much part in it.
‘With regards medals, I’m not sure how it works, and if I didn’t get a medal I would be upset, but I think as far as I’m aware I will get oone.’
Despite al the setbacks, Megan remains positive in terms of her long-term ambitions, which also include getting back into the senior international international set-up.
‘Overall I’m happy happy here at Manchester City,’ she said, ‘and although not having the best of starts to my professional career I am optimistic about getting past this injury-stricken time.
'I’m hoping that over the next year I have better luck in trying to prove myself in the league and potentially play in the quarter-final of a Champions League game next March, providing the girls qualify.’
