My name is Ellie Jones. Often known as 'Jonesy' or 'Twinks' (Twinks been short for Twinkle Toes). So a bit about me, I have played football my whole life, as far back as I remember I always had a ball at my feet. When I was younger I was part of an amateur team, back home in Yorkshire, and I loved it. It was what my week revolved around, training twice a week with the team and match days on weekends. It was what I lived for. I always did extra sessions by myself and spent a lot of time in the gym, building up my strength and conditioning. Not to enlarge my ego, but the hard work I put in was noticeable, my physique was incredible, even during my younger years. I had always loved the gym side of training, particularly lifting weights.

Being in Yorkshire, meant there was little to no option of playing football professionally, and to be honest, although I always dreamt of playing football full time, it wasn't a thing from where I was from so I never really thought about it and just enjoyed life, playing football for my local team, spending my time in the gym and spending time with family and friends.

That was until 1 day it all changed...
