Amani said: “We are so grateful for the opportunity Wycombe Wanderers have given us.
I’m elated.”

Wycombe High School Head, Sharon Cromie said: “It’s fantastic - wonderful that the students have this opportunity and to be part of the local community.
“Wycombe Wanderers hold a very special place in many people’s hearts, it’s a great team to be associated with and it’s lovely to see these students reporting on the women’s game and helping to raise its profile."
The three teenagers could follow the paths of two former students of the Wycombe High School that have gone onto have successful careers in journalism.
One of those former students is Rachel Burden who currently presents the breakfast show on BBC Five Live and the BBC TV Breakfast programme at the weekend.
Rachel, who has 83,500 Twitter followers, attended the school and is originally from Marlow.
Another one of the school's ex pupils who has achieved a lot in journalism is Isa Guha who was recently voted the best female sports commentator in the world.
