Lionesses legend Ellen White, whose road to greatness began with a ban from playing with the boys and ended in England glory, has announced her retirement.
At 33, White has hung up her boots with an England women's record 52 goals in 113 caps, saying her “dreams came true.” The Manchester City striker, who led the Lionesses' charge to triumph at Euro 2022 last month, admitted she had agonised over her decision before concluding England's glittering summer was the ideal time to bow out.
Head coach Sarina Wiegman led the tributes to a “world-class operator and perfect team player” as White took her final curtain with 12 months to run on her contract at City.
