Manchester City and England captain Steph Houghton says the thought of being an inspiration to young girls is very much part of her drive for success with club and country.

The 30-year-old defender has achieved a huge amount up to this point, with her CV featuring a multitude of trophies won with Arsenal and City, plus third place with England at the 2015 World Cup.

And the future looks bright both in terms of Houghton adding to that and the profile of English women’s football continuing to grow.
