Trinity Rodman is excited to be stepping out of her father's shadow to make a name for herself in the National Women's Soccer League after being selected in the draft.

The 18 year-old, who's father Dennis played in the NBA, was the second top pick of the evening as she was chosen by Washington Spirit after Racing Louisville FC selected Emily Fox.

Rodman said: “I’m just excited to be known as Trinity Rodman. Not Dennis Rodman’s daughter.

“Obviously this has been my dream forever. I think right now, with Covid and everything, honestly a lot of people can say it’s not the right time [to go pro], but right now I think it’s a perfect time to get in there and learn and become a better player.”
