Rachel Daly believes returning home to England led to her having the 'best season of her career' with the forward set to play a key role at the World Cup this summer.
Daly signed for Aston Villa after helping the Lionesses win the Euros and went on to win the Women's Super League golden boot with 22 goals in 22 games.
The 31-year-old had spent 10 years in America's National Women's Soccer League but decided to move back to England to be closer to her family following the passing of her father, Steve, two years ago.
