The defender is raring to go ahead of the new SWPL season.
It didn’t take long for Caitlin Hayes to be sussed out, her attempts to enjoy a low-key kickabout dashed by the fact that playing for Celtic women is no longer a low-key occupation.
It’s why introducing herself simply as Caitlin who happens to play a bit of football didn’t cut it for long when she began joining in with the men at Soccerworld this summer, some of them sceptical of ‘this girl’ gatecrashing their weekly runabout, some of them even Rangers fans.“I joined a 5-a-side group without telling anyone my name,” she said at this week’s SWPL season launch. “I enjoyed that, just playing with grown men, it was good fun.
“I didn’t give them my full name, I just said I was Caitlin. I wasn’t going to go around saying ‘Hi, I’m Caitlin Hayes and I play for Celtic’. Since then, it has been a summer of change for manager Fran Alonso and his team-mate. Key players such as Jacynta Galabadaarachchi, Pam Tajonar, Claire O’Riordan and Natasha Flint – among a host of others – have moved on, with no fewer than 10 coming in to replace them. Their summer graft is now set to be put to the test on Sunday against SWPL1 newcomers Montrose.
