Hibs forward Linzi Taylor says winning SWPL the 'greatest' moment of her career

Hibernian hero Linzi Taylor says winning the SWPL with the Edinburgh club is the “greatest feeling” she has experienced in her football career.

The midfielder scored the decisive goal in their 1-0 win against Rangers at Ibrox on Sunday which confirmed them as champions.

Taylor joined the Hibees from Partick Thistle in the summer after starring for the Jags for two seasons and helping them to a cup final.

The 30-year-old has also had success abroad with spells at the likes of FC Ramat HaSharon in Israel and Icelandic side Vikingur.

But she insists winning the league in Scotland, with her Hibs supporting family, friends and partner in the crowd, tops the rest of her achievements.

Speaking to STV Sport, she said: “I have won a league and a cup in other countries, but to do it in Scotland is something special and probably the greatest feeling I have ever had in my football career.

“To do it here in front of my friends, my family and my partner, who are always massive Hibs fans and I see what the club means to them week in and week out following the men’s team then coming to watch us on a Sunday, it’s special and I think you will chase that feeling forever.

“It’s the stuff you dream of when you are younger, I’m 30 now so I probably thought this moment would never come.”

Taylor is now turning her attention towards realising another dream by taking part in the Champions League, with Hibs set to enter at the qualification stage.

She said: “It was always my dream to play in the Champions League and I felt the chance to do that was slipping further and further away.

“So I have to thank the manager, coaching staff, and the group of players in the changing room for helping me realise one of my dreams, and that is something I will be forever thankful for.”
