Great advert for women in football -

"It's a great opportunity for women in football making history globally.  This journey full of opportunities which I have achieved is a result of the good team who I have behind me! They are my guardian angels without them and without my parents none of this would had been possible".

"I just want to thank David and his team at LA Galaxy for trusting me and giving me this unique and wonderful opportunity, I shared the news first with my team and my family before sharing it with you all". said Shehneela Ahmed

La Galaxy are just a stone’s throw away from where some of the most legendary Hollywood stars have lived.  Elvis Presley was just two roads away in the historic Trousdale Estates district of Los Angeles.  Frank Sinatra was also a resident there, as was legendary film star.

Shehneela Ahmed set her journey to the unknown when she left Rochdale at the age of 17 to pursue her dream becoming a Criminal Lawyer Advocate.  Shehneela Ahmed went on and made history by becoming Britain's and World's first Asian female football agent for the English FA.  A script written beautifully for movie producers, not for one moment did she realise the world will be watching her as a lawyer football agent.  Shehneela Ahmed's story is one for the Hollywood producers, who knows one day she may be heading towards a Oscar nomination.   Whatever it is, a wonderful inspiring achievement and fabulous news for women in sport.
