Leah Williamson described being named as England’s captain for the European Championship this summer as “the biggest honour in football” and something that will “never sink in”.
“For me to wear an England badge would have always been enough,” the Arsenal defender said. “For me to get on the pitch and start in a major tournament is an incredible achievement and something I’ve not done yet for England, so it’s been a quick and massive change for me over the last year or so and that will really be a pinch-myself moment.”
