I Don’t Want To Be Known As Reece James Sister – Reece James Sister Speaks Out

England forward Lauren James says she is keen to make a name for herself at this summer’s World Cup, rather than be known as “Reece James’ sister”.

The 21-year-old Chelsea star plays for the same club as her older brother, who is also an England international, and often hears her name linked with his.

“Even just ‘that’s Lauren James, that’s Reece’s sister’,” she said.

“But I want to carve out [my own name] and be known as ‘this is Lauren James’.”

James added:

“At the moment, men’s football has a lot bigger profile and I’m sure there are times when I’ve said ‘oh, that’s so and so’s sister’, I think it’s just natural.

“But it doesn’t bother me too much because I know I have my own career.”
