Roche may look to UK after frustration in the States

By William O'Toole

Stephanie Roche has admitted that she may have to give up on her dream of making it as a professional in America.

The Irish international, who shot to fame following a wonder strike for Peamount last season has now said that she might have to look towards the UK to continue her career.

Roche secured a dream move to Houston Dash after finishing runner-up in this year's Ballon D'or.

But after a frustrating start to life in America, she was released.

Speaking today, the Dublin woman said: "There's nothing I can do about it now so I'll just have to move on. I might look to the UK now."
