Following on from our interview with Stevie Romney, we also want you to get to know our other immediate signing, defender Alana Corr.
Alana, welcome to Windsor & Eton, how does it feel to be one of the first players to join a woman’s team at Stag Meadow?
Thank you for the warm welcome! I’m thrilled to be joining Windsor & Eton and to be one of the first players to join the women’s team at Stag Meadow. It’s a historic moment, and I feel honoured to be a part of it.
What attracted you to want come and play football at Windsor?
What attracted me to join Windsor was the club’s commitment to developing women’s football and providing a platform for female players to showcase their talent. I was also drawn to the rich history and community support that the club enjoys.
Why is it so important for the town of Windsor to finally have a senior women’s side?
It’s incredibly important for the town of Windsor to have a senior women’s side because it promotes inclusivity and provides local girls and women with the opportunity to pursue their passion for football at a competitive level. It also helps to inspire the next generation of female players in the area.
What’s your position and how would you describe yourself in 5 words?!
I’m a defender, and I would describe myself as determined, versatile, resilient, passionate, and team-oriented.
Tell us a bit about your playing career to date?
In terms of my playing career, I’ve had the privilege of playing when I was younger I was part of a boys team. I’ve always been dedicated to improving my skills and contributing to the success of my teams.
How strong is women’s football in the area?
Women’s football in the area is growing stronger every year. There’s a real sense of momentum and enthusiasm for the women’s game, and I believe there’s a lot of untapped potential waiting to be unleashed.
What do you hope to achieve at Windsor?
At Windsor, I hope to contribute to the team’s success on the pitch and also make a positive impact off the field by getting involved in coaching the girls’ and youth teams at the club. I want to help nurture young talent and be a role model for the next generation of female footballers.
I know you’re keen to get involved in coaching the girls’ teams at the club, why is that so important to you?
Getting involved in coaching the girls’ teams is incredibly important to me because I want to help provide young girls with the opportunities and support that I didn’t receive when I was starting out in football. I believe in the power of mentorship and want to help develop well-rounded players both on and off the pitch.
Finally, what’s your message to supporters of the men’s side to get them to come down and support the women?
To the supporters of the men’s side, I would say that supporting the women’s team is not just about gender equality—it’s about supporting the entire club and fostering a sense of unity and community. The passion and dedication of the women’s team deserve to be witnessed and celebrated, and I encourage everyone to come down and show their support for all the players at Windsor & Eton.
