with Hibernian, Kirsty Smith is now<br />

full-back is now aiming<br />

tournament in her time<br />
with the national squad, having<br />

debut in 2014.<br />
After being ruled out injured<br />
for the upcoming games, Kirsty<br />
Smith will now battle back and<br />

matches in April.<br />

She recalled: “I was always<br />
kicking a ball, from an early age.
