- Scott won 161 caps for England in 16 years
Jill Scott has announced her retirement from football after an incredible career, which made her the second most capped player – male or female – in English football history.
The 35-year-old midfielder ends on a high, having won Euro 2022 with England this summer, the culmination of a 16‑year international career. She made her England debut in 2006 and played 161 times for her country. Only Fara Williams has more caps with 172.
