England legend makes Arsenal return ahead of Champions League crunch clash against Wolfsburg

England legend Kelly Smith has joined Arsenal Women's coaching staff in a part-time role until the end of the season.

Smith, who scored 125 goals in 144 appearances across her two spells with the Gunners, is widely regarded as one of the most gifted players in women's football history and helped Arsenal achieve a historic domestic and European treble in the 2006/7 campaign.

The 44-year-old also enjoyed a stellar international career before hanging up her boots in 2017, becoming the Lionesses' second all-time top scorer with 46 goals in 117 appearances. Earlier this year, Smith returned to Arsenal to work at the girls’ academy while undertaking her Uefa A license.
