Harrogate’s Rachel Daly has been called up to the England Lionesses' squad ahead of the World Cup qualifiers.
Daly, who recently joined Aston Villa, is among the 23-player squad which will take on Austria and Luxembourg next month.
The Lionesses will be hoping to build on their Euro 2022 triumph by booking a place at the World Cup in Australia and New Zealand next year.
England manager Sarina Wiegman said:
Daly, who attended Saltergate and Rossett schools, has seen a lot of success on the pitch in the past few months.
After helping the Lionesses win the Euros at Wembley against Germany last month, she signed for Women’s Super League side Aston Villa from Houston Dash in the USA. She now has almost 300,000 followers on Instagram.
The 30-year-old said it was a big decision to move to Villa, but added that it was right to come home as “family is the most important thing”.
