Katie Robinson, an Aston Villa forward, has stated that she intends to seek a recall to the England senior squad.
The 22-year-old has five senior caps for the Lionesses, but she will continue her development with the under-23s for the time being.Robinson stated during an England media event that her goal is to strive for a recall to the senior squad in the coming months.
"It's definitely been a journey but these highs and lows are all part of it," Robinson told me. "Hopefully, I can get back to the seniors one day and I'll be working hard to try to do that."
Robinson chose to join Aston Villa over Brighton & Hove Albion this summer. The attacker revealed that transferring clubs was part of a larger strategy to be selected by England head coach Sarina Wiegman again.
She stated, "I believe I spent the summer looking for the appropriate club for me. [Aston Villa] is the appropriate place for me to grow and improve. I'm hoping to put in some solid performances.
"Confidence is extremely important in football; when you are confident, you play your best. I'm the type of guy who prefers to have an arm around his shoulder; I want the confidence to fully support myself."
Robinson has routinely played for the national team at both the senior and under-23 levels in recent years. Back at the club, Robinson has a variety of international talents around her, who will hopefully help her gain the confidence she requires. When asked if any of her colleagues are good role models, Robinson mentioned a former England player.
She stated, "I would definitely say Rach Daly." She's a fantastic player to play alongside and train with; she works extremely hard and always gives her all for the team. I've had a few chats with Rach, but there's absolutely something I can do more of to gain that information from her. She has extensive experience with England at the highest levels, therefore they are the people you want to get input from.
"I'm quite clear on what I need to work on. I'm particularly focused on completing those tasks so that I can advance to the seniors."
Robinson might play for England's under-23s when they meet the Netherlands in Help this evening.
