Club career

Keryakoplis was called into Liverpool Ladies' FA WSL squad for the 2012 season.[2] She scored her first goal on 22 April 2012, in a 2–2 draw at Chelsea.[3] Keryakoplis had made her first team debut during Liverpool's successful 2009–10 FA Women's Premier League Northern Division campaign.[4]

In July 2013 she signed for FA Women's Premier League Northern Division newcomers Stoke City.[5] Keryakoplis made just one appearance in the 2013 FA WSL season, as new signings including Natasha Dowie blocked her path to the first team. In January 2014 Keryakoplis returned to FA WSL level when she was signed by Birmingham City.[6]

International career

After showing good form at Under–17 and Under–19 level, Keryakoplis made her senior Wales debut in October 2011, a 4–1 defeat to France in EURO 2013 qualifying.[7]
