Taylor Hinds hopes to harness the winning mentality that helped England Under-20s take a bronze medal at this summer’s World Cup and bring it to Everton.
The 18-year-old was part of the record-breaking young Lionesses squad that beat hosts France to secure third place at the tournament last month alongside Toffees teammates Chloe Kelly and Megan Finnigan.
After storming through a group containing reigning champions North Korea, Brazil and Mexico, England reached the semi-finals, only to lose out to eventual winners Japan.
Despite the setback, their 2-0 win over the French saw them earn a bronze medal and Hinds revealed it was the collective resiliency of the squad that saw them bounce back in style.
