Fresh off an FA Cup final appearance, Jessica Naz returned to her roots at Oasis Academy Enfield.

A Tottenham Hotspur Women star capped off a significant week in her career by returning to her former school in Enfield Lock.

Forward Jessica Naz was placed on standby for England in her first senior call-up earlier this week, having just two days earlier represented Tottenham Hotspur Women in the Women’s FA Cup Final at Wembley Stadium.

She later met with students and her former teachers at Oasis Academy Enfield to reflect on her path from the school to representing the Lilywhites at Wembley, before taking part in a girls’ football session run by the Tottenham Hotspur Foundation.

Jess said: “When I was at this school there weren’t many girls playing football, so to see a whole group of girls is brilliant, and they were all playing with smiles on their faces, which was good to see. I used to be the only girl on this pitch playing against the boys!”

Steve Ambler, teacher at Oasis Academy Enfield, said: “One of my earliest memories at this school was watching Jess play near this pitch, and you could see straight away that she was going to be very successful. She used to run rings around the boys, which was always fun to watch! You knew she was always going to be fantastic, she was so good at dribbling, like a little Messi.”
