Club career

edit

Pamela spent most of her youth career with local side Wishaw Girls but when she turned 15 years old, she signed for Hamilton Accies in the SWPL, the top flight of woman's football in Scotland. She spent seven years with Accies, before heading to Iceland to play for Þór/KA. She had a brief spell back at New Douglas Park before signing professional terms with Stjarnan aged just 22.

She was eight months a pro at the Samsung völlurinn before having to return home to have her first child, a son called Kayden. After some time out of the game, she returned to play for a third spell at Accies before a successful season in Claret and Amber with Motherwell, the team that would be the prelude to her current club.

However, after the 'Well team folded, she was soon on the move again, signing for the female side of Wishaw Juniors F.C., where she was handed the captain's armband. It would prove a successful season, with the team winning the League, League Cup and Scottish Cup in a memorable campaign.

That tempted her back into the senior woman's game and she signed for Hearts in 2013. She was in the Capital for one full year before returning to Lanarkshire in 2014, to spearhead the Motherwell attack.

She won the SWFL Player of the Month award for May/June, after netting an incredible 71 goals in the first 18 matches of Motherwell's 2015 season.[1][2]
