Return To England A ‘massive Motivator’ Behind Walsh’s Move To Chelsea
UEFA Champions League: Following a successful spell in Spain with Barcelona, Keira Walsh returned to England having signed on a four-and-a-half-year deal with Chelsea FC. The midfielder revealed her decision was made with the key factor of returning home in mind.
‘It was a massive motivator. I’ll be honest, I didn’t realise how difficult it would be to be away from my family and friends when I went abroad. It was such a quick transfer that I didn’t have time to process how I would be on my own. Sometimes, it was actually really difficult and I did struggle away from the pitch sometimes.
“This season was a bit easier because Ellie Roebuck came in and me and her have been such good friends for a long time. It’s no secret that I wanted to come and wanted to play closer to my friends and family. Just having my family back in the stands, it’s something I’ve just wanted for a long time. When I spoke to Chelsea, I knew that I wanted to come here,” said Walsh.
