Club career
Brighton & Hove Albion
Brighton & Hove Albion released Heroum at the end of the 2020–21 Women's Super League season in May 2021.[3]
International career
Heroum played her first international for Finland women's national team on 27 May 2012 against Belgium. She was a member of the Finnish squad at the UEFA Women's Euro 2013.[4] Aged 18 she was one of the youngest players at the competition and had to withdraw from the 2013 UEFA Women's U-19 Championship in order to participate.
After Finland failed to qualify in 2017, Heroum was considered an important member of the national team which competed at UEFA Women's Euro 2022 in England.[5]
Playing style
Originally an attacking midfielder who modelled her game on Pavel Nedvěd, Heroum was retrained as a full-back by her coach at Milan, Carolina Morace.[6]
Personal life
Although she was born and raised in Finland, Heroum's father is originally from Morocco. Her brother Samir is also a footballer.[7]
