Rehanne Skinner is forthright when asked about West Ham United’s achievements this season.
“We’re definitely punching above our weight, based on resources within the league,” she says.
Skinner is speaking to Telegraph Sport after penning a one-year contract extension with the club. Her side sit seventh in the Women’s Super League but could still finish fifth. She is aware that some pundits predicted that West Ham would be in a relegation battle this season. The club finished 11th last term and, while they finished nine points clear of bottom place, their three wins from 22 games indicated a testing campaign.
