Carly’s professional coaching journey spans over six seasons with Arsenal, where she has worked with various age groups and currently coaches the Women's Under-21s alongside her FT job of Women's Academy Player Care Lead. Her coaching career began with grassroots football, progressing through boys’ teams until she was encouraged to explore the girls' game and joined Arsenal as a cover coach where she has remained. Her passion for football started at a young age, playing with boys in the playground and later captaining the first-ever Tottenham Hotspur Under-11s team. Despite severe injuries, Carly’s love for the game never wavered. After a brief break, she returned to playing and eventually shifted to coaching, balancing her roles as a mother and coach. Carly was also part of the prestigious England Elite Coach Programme, where she coached the Under-17 England Women’s squad. Through her work with the FA’s women and girls programs, she inspires the next generation of coaches and players from diverse backgrounds.
