Harrogate footballer Rachel Daly has made the England squad for the Women’s Euro 2022 tournament this summer.
Daly, who went to Saltergate and Rossett schools, now plays in the United States for Houston Dash.
The full-back is also an experienced international who has made 46 appearances and scored seven goals for her country since her debut in 2016.
Manager Sarina Wiegman has used the versatile Daly as a substitute in recent fixtures.
The Lionesses have reached the Women’s Euros final twice before in their history, in 1984 and 2009.
This year’s tournament will be played in England and the squad will be hoping home advantage will give them an extra edge. They are in a group with Austria, Norway and Northern Ireland.
Daly, along with the rest of the squad, today met Prince William, the Duke of Cambridge, who wished them luck.
