As a teenager, Newsham combined elite football with endurance running and trained as part of an elite athletics group.

In her first 10km race in Wigan, she finished 11th woman overall and first in her U16 age category.

She backed Wigan Council’s #BelieveInHer campaign and was recognised locally from appearing on its poster. Her message to other women as a teenager was: “If you can dream it, you can achieve it!”

Before representing Scotland, Newsham was selected for the England U15 schoolgirls squad.

Newsham had to watch Charlton’s historic 2026 promotion play-off on crutches after suffering an ACL injury in the final league game. She had started 20 of Charlton’s 22 WSL2 matches before the injury.
