LIONESS star Beth Mead is following in the footsteps of Marcus Rashford by putting pen to paper for two new books.
The Euro 2022 champion is writing an autobiography detailing her journey from when she first started kicking a ball for her village team aged six to Wembley stadium in July where she and the rest of the England squad beat Germany 2-1.
Striker Beth, 27, is working on two books which will tackle her top level football career.
The first, which will be published in November, is called “Lioness: My Journey to Glory”, and will detail the “challenges, sacrifices and dedication” needed to win a major football tournament.
She also plans to pen a book aimed at encouraging girls and boys to start their football careers titled “Roar: A Football Hero’s Guide to Dreaming Big and Playing the Game You Love”, out next year.
Beth said: “I’m eager for the world to know me in a new way and for people to learn more about the challenges, sacrifices and dedication that go into winning a major tournament.

“I feel very proud and honoured to be among the first female footballers to be able to tell their story in this way.”
She added she hopes her kids book will “inspire girls and boys to play the sport they love, dream big, work hard and never give up.
“But most importantly, I hope it encourages them to pursue the things they enjoy the most and have fun while they do it.”
