Career & Clubs

Early life and career

Hampton was born in Birmingham, England and grew up in Studley, Warwickshire before emigrating to Spain with her family at the age of five. She has an older brother, Ben, who she credits with helping her to ‘‘achieve [her] dreams’’. While in Spain, Hampton was scouted for the Villarreal CF academy where she played as a striker. She studied at the British School of Vila-real where her parents, Chris and Laura, worked as teachers. The family moved back to England in 2010, and Hampton joined the Stoke City Centre of Excellence. During her time at Stoke's academy, she switched from playing as a forward to being a goalkeeper. Hampton attended Chase Grammar School in Cannock and Erasmus Darwin Academy in Burntwood, Staffordshire where her parents were members of staff. As part of the "Where Greatness Is Made" campaign, a plaque honouring Hampton was installed at Stoke City.
