The She Kicks Locker Room: The Menu With Jess Clarke

Durham signed a 52-cap England international for the season, and She Kicks put her in the kitchen. Jess Clarke, who brought experience of three tournaments with the Lionesses to the Championship side, loves everything except Stilton cheese, and would eat more KFC if an athlete’s diet allowed it. A treat meal out is Italian, because of the range of options. Pre-match is porridge, half-time refuelling is fruit and usually a banana. She has only recently taken to cooking and reckons she is now half-decent, with a slow-cooked chilli as the dish she would make for teammates. The birthday cake request is a vegan Victoria sponge. The standfirst adds that, quietly, she carries quite the singing voice as well.
