I'm absolutely buzzing - Jill Scott 'honoured' by place in WSL Hall Of Fame

Former England and Manchester City midfielder Jill Scott said she is "absolutely buzzing" at being inducted into the Women's Super League Hall of Fame and seeing her name up alongside some of her heroes.

Scott joins former Lionesses team-mates Ellen White and Anita Asante as the third batch of players to be inducted into the Hall of Fame, which was launched in 2021.

The 36-year-old retired from football in August 2022, capping off a glittering 18-year career by winning the European Championship crown with England at Wembley.

Previous years have seen the likes of Emma Hayes, Eni Aluko, Rachel Yankey and Fara Williams all inducted into the Hall of Fame and Scott described her pride at joining some of the most illustrious names in women's football.

She said: "I'm absolutely buzzing to be honest, over the years I've seen Kelly Smith, Rachel Yankey, Karen Carney, players like that getting inducted in.

"Just to have your name alongside those fantastic players who over the years were my heroes really - even when we played in England together I would question why I was even with those players at times.

"Then the WSL, it's been such a big part of my life. I've dedicated my life to it really, getting a result on the weekend was literally everything. It brings back so many good memories stacked into this little trophy. I'm really honoured."

Scott began her career with her hometown side Sunderland before securing a move to Everton in 2006, where she won the FA Cup in 2010 and spent seven years with the Toffees.

The midfielder then moved to Manchester City and won the Continental Cup in her first season before going on to win a further six domestic trophies with the club, including the WSL title in 2016.
