Paula Holguin, is a powerful presence in Brentford FC Women's First Team. With a strong attacking style and relentless focus, the forward brings both talent and determination to the pitch.

Her footballing journey began at Crystal Palace, where she played from the Under-11s through to the first team reserves. After developing her game for nearly a decade, she took her skills to Loughborough University FC, where she further honed her craft between 2019 and 2023. In 2023, Paula made the leap to Brentford FC, eager to continue her upward trajectory.

Paula’s off-pitch pursuits are equally impressive. Currently working in sports marketing, she also holds a degree in sports management, which provides her with a well-rounded understanding of the sports industry. This knowledge allows her to bring unique insights to her role both as a player and a professional in the field. Outside of work and football, she enjoys traveling, exploring new cuisines, and spending quality time with friends and family.

A natural under pressure, one of Paula's career highlights was scoring a stunning volley in the cup final to win her second BUCS title with Loughborough, a moment she cherishes deeply. She also took home the golden boot for the 2022/23 season at Loughborough, showcasing her goal-scoring prowess. Her debut for Brentford Women was equally unforgettable, as she netted a hat-trick, setting the standard for a successful season ahead.

For the current campaign, Paula's focus is clear: promotion. She is determined to help lead the team to new heights and is passionate about the future of women’s football. Reflecting on the potential growth of the sport, she is hopeful that more opportunities to play at larger venues like the Gtech Community Stadium will inspire the next generation of female footballers.

Her message to young girls aspiring to play football is simple yet powerful: 'believe in yourself and stay committed to your goals'. Paula Holguin not only exemplifies excellence on the pitch, but also serves as a role model off it, encouraging young athletes to pursue their dreams with confidence.
