Scott explains her transfer’s reasons

Jill Scott

doesn’t want people to think that her loan move to Everton was to get some playing minutes. Scott says that it would be disrespectful to think that she came to Everton to get some more playing minutes.

“I don't want to be disrespectful and say, ‘I'm coming here to get game time’, because it's going to be difficult,”

Scott said

. “There are a lot of top players here: Izzy Christiansen, Claire Emslie, I could go on. Training has been difficult and I know that I'm going to have to be on top of my game in order to challenge for a place here.

“I'm enjoying it and that's the main thing, I'm just willing to get my head down. I suppose what will be, will be with the Olympics. It's going to be so difficult to get into that squad.

“I still feel like I've got a lot to give and I still believe in myself and I hope this move will kind of mirror that.

“It’s definitely the right move for me at this time. If I wasn’t to get selected for the Olympics, or they weren’t to go ahead, then at least I know I tried.

“Maybe it would have been easier for me to stay at City, in my comfort zone, going in every single day, but this shows that I’ve still got the drive and determination that I want to push myself - I really do. I turn 34 next week but I honestly have still got the same amount of drive and energy as when I was 21, so I just want to make the most of it.

“Whatever happens - yes, that’s [Olympics] the end goal - but I’ve still got things I want to achieve now and those goals will be with Everton.”
