Representing my country will always be one of my proudest achievements and I feel honoured to have played for England.“Thank you to all of the managers, coaches and staff I’ve worked with and thank you to all of the teammates that I’ve shared a dressing room with over the years.“Collectively we’ve shared some amazing times and I leave the game with memories that I’ll always treasure.”
