Coach Norman on Leonard

“BELLA IS SOMEONE WE HAVE BEEN WATCHING FOR A NUMBER OF YEARS NOW AND HAVE ALWAYS LOVED THE WAY SHE PLAYS. SHE IS A MIDFIELDER WHO IS NOT ONLY TECHNICAL AND A VERY GOOD PASSER, BUT ALSO HAS THE ABILITY TO TAKE DEFENDERS ON IN 1V1 SITUATIONS. SHE HAS GOOD SIZE, SO SHE HAS A GREAT DEFENSIVE PRESENCE WHETHER IT BE WINNING AERIAL CHALLENGES OR TACKLES IN THE MIDFIELD.”
