Yes? Here’s your chance to refer a player who could be taking her first step on the Women’s England Talent Pathway. The referral window is open for the last time this season, until Friday 8th April, so now’s the perfect time to act. Right now, coaches and clubs, volunteers, match officials, teachers or anyone else working with young players of potential, can put them forward.

England Football are looking for players eligible to represent England, who are born between 2005 and 2009. This could even include players who excel in other sports who may have transferable skills.
