Eleonora Cottrell is a dynamic and driven forward, establishing herself as a positive and attacking presence on the pitch.

Known by her teammates as someone who brings knowledge and energy to every game, she continues to challenge herself to become the best player she can be.

Off the pitch, Eleonora balances her career as a Lettings Consultant at an estate agency with her football commitments. The communication and teamwork skills she hones at her job directly translate to her role on the field, where she works hard to foster a positive environment for her teammates. In her downtime, she enjoys going to the gym and socialising with friends, keeping a well-rounded approach to life.

Eleonora’s time with Brentford FC has been full of memorable moments. Scoring at the Gtech Community Stadium and being selected for the new kit launch are just a few of her proudest achievements. She was also part of the team that won two trophies in the 2023/24 season. Reflecting on her greatest moment, Eleonora recalls the thrill of walking out at Gtech Stadium in front of the Brentford faithful—a moment she will never forget.

This season, Eleonora has set both individual and team goals. For herself, she aims to push her limits and develop into the best player she can be, while for the team, promotion remains the ultimate target. Her advice to young girls aspiring to play football is simple but powerful: “Be yourself, work hard, and don’t let people tell you that you can’t. Enjoy it!”

Looking to the future, Eleonora is excited about the growth of women’s football, which has made huge strides in recent years. She believes that the sport will continue to expand, both in terms of visibility and success. Her personal goal is to inspire the next generation of players by doing what she loves most—playing football and showing what’s possible with hard work and dedication.
