Rhiannon Beth "Razza" Roberts (born 30 August 1990) is a Welsh footballer who plays as a defender for FA Women's Championship club Liverpool[2] and the Wales national team.

Club career[]

Roberts broke into the Blackburn Rovers Ladies first team towards the end of the 2008–09 season.[3] Her first Blackburn goal came in April 2009, against Birmingham City Ladies in the FA Women's Premier League.[3] She left Blackburn for a 15-month contract with Doncaster Rovers Belles in July 2013.[4]

International career[]

Roberts has represented England Colleges, playing in the side's first ever fixture, against Australia schools in February 2008.[5] In June 2010 she was called up by coach Brent Hills to the England Under–23 team for a mini tournament at the University of Warwick.[6] The following year Roberts represented Great Britain at the 2011 Universiade in Shenzhen, China.[7] Despite Roberts' opening goal, Britain were eliminated after a 3–2 defeat by the hosts at Bao'an Stadium.

In August 2015 Roberts' good form with Doncaster Rovers Belles won her a call-up to a training camp with Jayne Ludlow's senior Wales squad.[8] She was selected for Wales' next UEFA Women's Euro 2017 qualifying match in Austria and started the 3–0 defeat in Sankt Pölten.[9]
