Lionesses’ record goalscorer White announces pregnancy

England’s Euro 2022-winning striker Ellen White has revealed she is expecting her first child.

White retired from football on a high note in August after featuring for the first England women’s team to lift a major trophy during this year’s home European Championships.

White scored 52 goals in 113 international caps, a record for a Lionesses player and a tally only bettered by Wayne Rooney and Harry Kane (both 53) across England’s men’s and women’s teams.

On Wednesday, the former Manchester City striker posted an image of herself and husband Callum Convery on Twitter alongside the caption “Mum and Dad”, revealing their child is due next April.
