COVENTRY City Ladies are currently on a five match
unbeaten run in the Women's Premier League following their goalless
draw at home to Cardiff City on Sunday.
But much of their success so far this season has been down to
summer signing Maz Gauntlett.
The likeable striker has made an immediate impact since
signing from M69 rivals Leicester City, scoring four goals in six
matches, including two wonder strikes against defending league
champions Sunderland.
And the 24-year-old is certain she made the right choice in
stepping up to the top flight of women's football and joining the
Sky Blues.
"Signing for Coventry has been a great move for me because I
feel I'm already developing as a player," said Gauntlett.
"I've got a manager, players and staff around me that have
confidence in me which is already proving great so far.
"I'm so grateful Coventry has given me this opportunity. I've
settled in really well here, the girl players and staff have made
me feel welcome."
Gauntlett, who was also on the books for Midlands rivals
Birmingham City, believes team work and a positive attitude are the
key ingredients to keeping the club towards the top end of the
table.
"I'm always buzzing for training and games which just proves
there is a positive atmosphere in around the club.
Gaunlett added: "We're sitting top of the league with a lot of
hard work still to be done to maintain, as were going to be the
team that most teams want to beat."
