Jill Scott says it’s an “absolute honour” to be named in the Women's Super League Hall of Fame after a career spanning two decades.
The England legend, who was part of the Euro 2022-winning squad, has been inducted alongside her ex-international team-mates Ellen White and Anita Asante in the 2023 class.
Scott made 175 WSL appearances, scoring 22 goals and won four Women's FA Cups, three League Cups and one league title.
«It's an absolute honour. Playing in the WSL since it formed until a couple of years ago, they're simply the best memories ever. To be inducted to the Hall of Fame won't sink in for a while,» Scott told Sky Sports.
«It means so much, especially with names already in there like Kelly Smith and Karen Carney. When you retire you lose a lot of identity as your whole purpose was to be a footballer. So to be remembered in this way is such an honour, this one will go on the mantlepiece.»
Scott enjoyed an 18-year club career, starting out at Sunderland before moving to Everton and then Manchester City.
The all-action midfielder was one of City's first signings after the club went professional in 2013, a period Scott looks back on with immense fondness.
