Tiana, who is a member of the under-15s Boston United Community Football Club team, has shown fantastic commitment in girls’ football, which has been reflected in her making the England Talent squad.

She joined the Community Club to play for the under-8s in the 2008-2009 season when Boston United Community Football Club first started. Over the years, her confidence has grown and she has become a creative player who is never afraid to try something new.

Attending the trials for the FA England Pathway ACC in August, Tiana was invited back to attend for four weeks of further trials. After just three weeks it was confirmed she had been selected for the under-16s Squad. Showing her commitment to football, she now trains weekly with the England Pathway squad, as well as continuing her weekly training with BUCFC while playing matches in the Peterborough Youth League.

BUCFC under-15s coach Dwane Groves said: "We would like to congratulate Tiana on her outstanding performance and for her commitment — she is a fantastic role model and an inspiring player. This is a massive achievement for her. She is always willing to try her hardest, is well-respected among her team-mates and everyone at BUCFC and is extremely dedicated to playing and enjoying football. We would like to wish her the very best of luck with her England Squad development and BUCFC under-15s."

On top of her fantastic achievement with the England Pathway squad and BUCFC, Tiana is also a newly-qualified referee and is often seen helping younger players to enjoy the game as well as refereeing on a Saturday morning. Her dream would be to play with the England ladies first team (the Lionesses).

"As well as training and playing fixtures, BUCFC teams also enjoy trips out," added Groves. "The BUCFC under-15s are going to St George’s Park in October, the home of all England football teams and training facilities for both Premier League and international teams.

"The team will have a tour of the facilities and will enjoy a training session there too so they can see how the elite players of England and teams such as Barcelona train when they are there. It is an inspirational place and I hope it will help players on their pathway of development."
