Women’s World Football Show is touching all corners of the world this week. First up is an exclusive interview with FAWSL star Natasha Dowie!

Adam sits down with the versatile striker as she prepares to make her debut with her new team – Doncaster Belles. As one of the biggest moves of this off-season, Natasha gives us insight on why she chose the Belles over other teams and what we can expect to see from her in 2016.

After three successful seasons with Liverpool Ladies, Natasha discusses her former team and their very dramatic FAWSL back-to-back championships. Natasha also gives us her thoughts on playing in the Australia’s Westfield W-League and why Melbourne Victory has not seen the last of her.
