About Ellen White
Ellen White is a titan of English football, concluding a sensational career as the record goalscorer for the national senior women's team. Her journey began at Aylesbury Town before she was scouted by Arsenal at only eight years of age. Over a distinguished domestic career, she represented leading clubs including Chelsea, Leeds Carnegie, and Notts County. During her return to Arsenal, she secured three league titles and two FA Cups, while her time at Birmingham City was marked by her decisive penalty that took the club to the 2017 FA Women's Cup Final.
At Manchester City, White cemented her status as one of the game's greatest strikers, becoming just the second player in history to reach fifty goals in the Women's Super League (WSL). Consistently performing at the highest level, she eventually became the all-time leading scorer in the competition's history. Her international achievements are equally prestigious, representing England for over a decade. After being named England Women's Player of the Year in 2011, she went on to become the record World Cup scorer for the Lionesses at the 2019 tournament.
White reached her 100th international cap shortly before making history as part of the triumphant squad that won the 2022 European Championship. Having achieved her ultimate professional ambitions, she retired following that historic victory as a national sporting icon. Audiences book Ellen for her experiences in elite performance, her perspective on overcoming pressure, and her unique ability to remain at the top of a competitive field for over a decade.
