WALES boss Rhian Wilkinson believes Hayley Ladd has shown how to “fight for your career” with the Everton player on the brink of winning her 100th cap.

Ladd is expected to become the 10th player — male or female — to reach a century of caps for Wales when they begin their Nations League campaign against Italy in Monza on Friday.

The 31-year-old defender or midfielder will win her first cap as an Everton player after her six-year stay at Manchester United came to an end last month.
