Manchester City Women and England striker Ellen White has announced her retirement from football at the age of 33. White made the shock announcement via her social media channels on Monday afternoon, bringing an end to a glittering career that has spanned over 17 years.
England's all-time leading goal-scorer joined City in the summer of 2019 and scored 34 goals in 90 games in all competitions for the Blues. She played a key role in a successful period for the club, helping City to win the Women's FA Cup in 2019/20 before captaining the side to FA WSL Cup glory last season.
White also enjoyed spells at Chelsea, Leeds Carnegie, Arsenal, Notts County and Birmingham City before moving up to Manchester, and in 2021 she became the then-record goal-scorer in Women's Super League history.
