Ellen White is brimming with belief after her World Cup exploits and confident she can push on with Manchester City once fit again.

White had a superb World Cup over the summer, finishing as joint top-scorer with six goals as England came fourth.

The 30-year-old went into the tournament in France having just left Birmingham to join Manchester City.

Reflecting on her summer, White said: "It's been a bit of a roller coaster really.

"Signing for City, I was extremely proud and felt really lucky that they wanted to sign me. For me personally, I wanted to get that signing done before so I could completely focus at the World Cup, and I think that was pretty evident, that I felt in a really good place. I felt really calm, relaxed.

"There is a little bit of disappointment obviously because we really felt and believed we could win the World Cup, but I'm very happy with how I performed.

"I'm very proud to have been part of the World Cup with England and for what we achieved, and especially back home, the amount the country really caught hold of the World Cup and the amount of people that were watching the games, the coverage, it was really important. We were extremely proud of that, of how many people wanted to watch the women's game."

England's 2-1 semi-final loss to the United States was watched by a peak UK television audience of 11.7million.
