Alex Greenwood - the Lionesses' Liverpool-born left-back who plays for Manchester City

The Lionesses have made a strong start to their Euro 2022 campaign. A 1-0 victory over Austria in the opening game was followed by a 8-0 thrashing of Norway.

Alex Greenwood made her first appearance of the tournament for England against the Norwegians at the Amex Stadium - home of Brighton & Hove Albion - on Monday night. The 28-year-old came on as a second-half substitute - replacing Rachel Daly at left-back.

It is the fourth major tournament that Greenwood has played in - having represented England at the 2015 and 2019 World Cups and the 2017 Euros, where England reached three successive semi-finals. With 62 caps for the Lionesses, and a career that already stretches back more than a decade, the defender took her wealth of experience to Manchester City in 2020 - signing a three-year deal with the club.
