Harrogate's Rachel Daly picked for England World Cup squad
Harrogate’s Rachael Daly has been picked for England’s World Cup squad this summer.
The Aston Villa striker will join the Lionesses for the tournament, which will take place in Australia and New Zealand in July.
England will open their World Cup campaign against Haiti on July 22 in the group stages.
The Lionesses will also face Denmark and China in Group D.
Daly will be hoping to replicate her club form going into the summer tournament.
The 31-year-old, who started her career at Killinghall Nomads Junior Football Club, scored 22 goals last season and picked up the Women’s Super League golden boot.
The prestigious golden boot is awarded to the league’s top goalscorer and Daly’s total equals the all-time record.
She was also named as the Barclays' Player of the Season.
Daly joined Villa from Houston Dash last summer and was a member of the England Lionesses team that won Euro 2022.
Earlier this month, she returned to Killinghall Nomads to open a cafe named after her.
