England keeper Earps to retire from international football
England goalkeeper Mary Earps has opted to retire from playing international football with immediate effect. WSL Full-Time were informed of the news via an official press release from The Football Association this morning. Advertisement The 32-year-old has enjoyed a hugely successful international career which has seen her collect 53 senior caps. Earps was a UEFA Women's EURO winner with England in 2022 while she also won the Women's Finalissima, two Arnold Clark Cups and the SheBelieves Cup with the Lionesses. Earps was a FIFA Women's World Cup runner-up with England in 2023 and won the Golden Glove at that tournament. Despite being an important player for England, Earps has deemed it to be the right time to hang up her boots on the international stage. Announcing her international retirement, Earps said 'I have taken the difficult decision to retire internationally. It has been the greatest honour and privilege of my life, to wear this badge, represent my country and play alongside such an incredible group of players. 'I've spent a long time making this decision and it's not one I've made lightly. For me, ultimately this is the right time for me to step aside and give the younger generation an opportunity to thrive. Winning the Euros in 2022 was the best day of my life, and I'm rooting for the girls to do it again this summer.' England head coach Sarina Wiegman will not call-up an additional goalkeeper for the upcoming UEFA Women's Nations League fixtures against Portugal and Spain.
