Spotlight on: Sociology student and Saints player

Phoebe Williams, our very own third year sociology student and Southampton Sport Scholar, is a midfielder for Southampton FC Women, having joined the club in 2016.

Internationally, Phoebe has represented England at every age group between Under-16s and Under-19s level. She recalls this as one of her greatest sporting achievements together with the Southampton FC Captaincy role.

Phoebe also tells us that the Saints gaining promotion to the FA Women’s Championship League is one of her proudest and favourite memories so far in her successful sporting career.

We ask Phoebe the best thing about playing for the Saints: “I get to play football with my best friends. I also live locally and have supported Southampton from a young age, so I feel very proud to be able to represent them.”

She goes on to tell us about balancing her time between training and studying: “I try my hardest to be organised and do as much work as I can when I am not training. Luckily the University are very understanding and supportive, so that helps a lot.”
