Welcome back to Squad Depth with Theo Lloyd-Hughes.
This week, we're catching up with Juana Plata. This is the first feature that will shed a spotlight on the upcoming 2024 W Gold Cup.
After five years playing NCAA with Lamar University and Texas State the Houstonite recently signed her first professional contract with Club de Futbol Monterrey in LigaMX Femenil.
Since 2021, the left-footed American has played for the El Salvadorian women's national team. In that time the fledging program has come on leaps and bounds, dominating preliminary qualifying tournaments in the CONCACAF region.
Plata is wise beyond her years and opens up about her story of joining Rayadas and joining LigaMX Femenil. Why she had to back herself and take risks to try and follow her dreams? While also making sure she is living in the moment and not looking too far ahead.
