Arsenal defender Jen Beattie announces retirement from international football with Scotland

Arsenal defender Jen Beattie MBE has announced her retirement from international football after 143 caps and 24 goals for the Scotland Women's national team.

The 31-year-old represented her nation for 15 years and helped them qualify for their first major tournament in the 2017 Euros. Injury kept her from playing in the competition, but she did feature at the World Cup in 2019 and scored against Argentina in a 3-3 draw.

She told the Scottish FA : “Representing Scotland has been an absolute honour and a dream come true. Thank you so much to every single staff member and player that has made my experiences so memorable and enjoyable. I’ve made friends for life.
