Rachel Daly believes her goal-scoring form for Aston Villa could see her move into an attacking role for England ahead of next summer’s World Cup.
Daly has played as a striker throughout her club career but is used at left back by Lionesses boss Sarina Wiegman. Past England managers have also played Daly in defence while Phil Neville would occasionally use her in midfield.
The Leeds-born forward, who joined Villa in the summer, has three goals in three games and was named player of the month for September.
Daly makes the transition from attacker to defender look easy, but she insists it’s not as straightforward as it looks.
