Emily Robertson has spoken of her ‘delight’ after joining Ashington FC as their new sports therapist.
Emily said: “I’m delighted to have been offered the role and I’m really excited to be here. I see the club going far and from what I’ve seen after a couple of friendlies, I do see us thriving for the play offs – the desire is incredible. When I visited the ground (Woodhorn Lane) last season, the first word that came to mind was ‘professionalism’ and that’s what I’m here for. The community Ashington have is second to none – you can sense that from all aspects.”
Emily continued: “Most importantly I’ve been welcomed into the team with open arms by all of the players and management and I couldn’t ask for anything more. The stereotype around women being in the men’s game can be frustrating sometimes and it’s not often spoke about enough but those boys in that changing room are absolutely brilliant.”
