Former England captain Steph Houghton has announced her intention to retire at the end of the season.
She said on her official website: “There is no easy way to say it, but I am retiring from football at the end of the current WSL season. “It has been an honour and a privilege to represent Sunderland, Leeds Utd, Arsenal and to have been on the incredible journey that I have been on, with Manchester City over the past 10 years.
City head coach Gareth Taylor said: “Steph is – without question – an icon of the game. Although her professional career on the pitch is now coming to an end, her legacy will be felt for so many years to come. She’s paved the way for so many to thrive in the future.
