My Bristol Favourites: Layah Douglas

By Martin Booth  Thursday Dec 21, 2023

Since rising through the ranks of the Gas Girls development squad, Layah Douglas has become an integral part of Bristol Rovers Women’s first team.

At the beginning of 2023, Layah was appointed as a Show Racism the Red Card ambassador, with the charity calling her “a role model for young people who aspire to become professional athletes”.

Away from football, where she plays as a midfielder for Rovers, the 20-year-old studies criminology and law as well as working part time.

“I’m a big lover of food so Lona Grill House & Juice Bar on Gloucester Road is a big favourite of mine. They always provide lovely service, and the food and drinks are amazing too with great portion sizes.”

Aztec Hotel & Spa

“I love the vibe on Stokes Croft. It’s also a really nice vibe in Caribbean Croft, which is a restaraunt with lovely food and drinks.”

Snap Fitness

“I have been to a few gyms across Bristol but one of the best is Snap Fitness, with gyms in Bedminster, Clifton, Filton and Staple Hill. I enjoy working out in any free time I get and this gym is definitely one of my favourites.”
