Former England striker Ellen White has announced she is pregnant.

The 33-year-old, who retired in August following the Lionesses’ Euro 2022 triumph, revealed on social media she is expecting a baby in April.

White posted a picture of her and her husband holding the Euro 2022 trophy with the caption ‘Mum and Dad. April 2023.’

The former Chelsea, Arsenal and Manchester City player called time on her career just a few weeks after she helped England to victory in the European Championship.

England manager Sarina Wiegman was thrilled to hear the news and told the BBC: ‘It’s really great, very nice.

‘I want to congratulate her but I haven’t had the time to call her yet. I’m very happy for them, I have just found out today.

‘She has been with Callum for a long time so you can expect it but you never know as it’s something personal. I don’t think she was planning on coming back [for the World Cup] anyway!’
