The Harrogate-born star has been praised by her former school teacher as she prepares for the World Cup final against Spain
Rachel Daly's former school teacher has hailed the Lioness as a "one-off" player as England aim for World Cup glory on Sunday. Sarina Wiegman's side reached their first ever World Cup final with a 3-1 win against co-hosts Australia on Wednesday in front of 75,784 in Sydney.
England are aiming to achieve back-to-back success in a major tournament final after their European Championship win at Wembley last year. Daly was part of that Lionesses squad and Mr Sweetman reflected on how far she has come in her England career. Beginning her domestic career with Leeds, Daly moved over to America to play in college for St John's University and was selected by the Houston Dash the 2016 NWSL draft. She spent six seasons in Texas before moving to the Women's Super League last year to play for Aston Villa, where she instantly made a mark in her debut season finishing with 22 goals.
