Jess Carter well and truly burst onto the women’s football scene when she was just 16-years-old. In March 2014, Carter made her Birmingham City debut against Arsenal in the first-leg of the UEFA Women's Champions League quarter-final.
In one of the highest profile stages she could’ve been introduced to, she was subsequently named player of the match after a stellar performance. Since then, her career has gone from strength to strength both on a domestic and international level.
Although having only featured as an unused substitute in England Women’s opening two matches at Euro 2022, Carter may see Friday’s game against Northern Ireland as an opportunity to make her mark in the Lionesses’ final group game. Throughout her career, she has played across the backline and in midfield before finally nailing down the centre-back berth at Chelsea last season.
