""The world is her oyster," said Wilkinson. "Who am I to say anything to what Jess wants to do? "I think that is one of the scary moments at the end of this footballing career, when the world is in front of you and it's something I wouldn't want to pigeonhole." Wilkinson does have one peice of advice for Fishlock - take her time over her next step. "Whatever she does, I'm sure she'll do incredibly well with it."
