Tash Merritt

When it comes to a middle battle, Tash Merritt is someone you want in the central ground.

Merritt is a combative star who really puts bite into the heart of the team.

But she's also excellent on the ball and brilliant in the air, with a good range of passing.

Joe Hunt rates the 21-year-old incredibly highly in the screening midfield role.

Merritt has been at Villa for eleven years.
