Rachel Daly, a member of the England squad that won Euro 2022 and reached last year’s World Cup final, has announced her retirement from international football.
The 32-year-old Aston Villa forward won 84 senior caps for the Lionesses, scoring 16 goals. “I would love nothing more than to play for England forever, but the time has come for me to hang my boots up on the international stage,” she wrote on Instagram following England’s 2-0 victory over Republic of Ireland in Dublin on Tuesday. “While today is an extremely difficult day for me, it is also one filled with reflection and immense gratitude. Playing for and representing England has been the greatest honour.
