Taylor Hinds: "I want to push for more"

All roads lead back home and academy graduate Taylor Hinds is back in an Arsenal shirt once more.

The 26-year-old full-back has officially signed a permanent deal with the club, having spent six years here previously working through the youth ranks.

“I'm just buzzing to be here. Where I am right now, I want to push, I want to compete, and I want to be winning trophies,” said Taylor in her first interview back as a Gunner. “Obviously, the girls just won Champions League. This club - not just the women's team, but as a whole - you can see what direction they're going in and that they want to push for more, and I want to push for more.”

As a vice captain at Liverpool, Taylor brings a wealth of WSL and leadership experience to the side.

“It’s really matured me. I think you don't just think of yourself, you think of others, and I think that's what really changed me throughout the years. I was grateful for that opportunity, and hopefully, I can bring that here as well.”

With her history at the club, there will be plenty of friendly faces in the dressing room when Taylor returns.

“You make friends in football, you go away and come back, and they'll be your teammates again! When I was younger, Leah used to bring me into training! And obviously, I grew up with Lotte and Alessia as well, so I'm excited to be back on the team with them.”
