To the world, Steph Catley is an Arsenal and Australia footballer.
But at home, away from the stadiums, the matches, and the pressure of professional football, she is something much more important.
She is Mummy.
Since the day Junie was born, Steph has raised her on her own while chasing her dreams on the football pitch. Balancing motherhood with the demands of being a professional footballer hasn't always been easy, but Steph has always made sure Junie knows she is loved. Behind the football is a mum who makes school runs, listens to every story about her day, helps with the little things, and cherishes the quiet moments they share together.
Six-year-old Junie's world is filled with everything that makes her happy - school with Miss Summer, her favourite toys, her unicorn teddy, her pink comfort blanket, her unicorn scooter, and her best furry friend Calvin the golden doodle waiting for her at home.
Growing up around football means Junie has another family too. The Arsenal and Australia players aren't just Mummy's teammates; they're her aunties. From training grounds to camps around the world, Junie has grown up surrounded by people who cheer for her, care about her, and love watching her grow.
But no matter how many people know Steph's name, how many fans cheer for her, or how many matches she plays, Junie only sees the person who picks her up from school, holds her hand, and makes every day feel special.
Because to Junie, Steph Catley isn't just a footballer.
She's Mummy.
A story about motherhood, family, football, and the little moments that mean everything.
For the story i have kept all of the girls that left last season in it and Vivianne Miedema still plays for arsenal!
