    Harrogate's Rachel Daly ranked 10th best player in world

    Harrogate-born Rachel Daly finished 10th last night at the prestigious Ballon d'Or awards in Paris.

    The Aston Villa striker was one of two England Lionesses to make the top 10.  Manchester United goalkeeper Mary Earps was fifth.

    Spain midfielder Aitana Bonmati, who helped her side defeat England in the World Cup final, was first.

    Former Rossett School pupil Daly was top scorer in the Women's Super League last season and named PFA Players' Player of the Year.

    She was also a member of the England side that won the 2022 European Championships.

    Daly's astonishing achievements have yet to impress North Yorkshire Council, which continues to ignore a petition by Killinghall Nomads Junior Football Club — the club where she started her career — calling for a civic honour. The Stray Ferret is supporting the appeal.

    None of the four England players on the 30-strong shortlist were able to attend the ceremony because they are international duty. England play Belgium in the National League tonight.

    The top 30 was decided by the votes of 100 journalists, who come from the countries which make up the top 100 of the FIFA rankings.

    Argentina's Lionel Messi beat Erling Haaland for the men's award.
