Earps, in international exile in 2019, saw her England career revived with a call-up from Lionesses coach Sarina Wiegman 2021. The 30-year-old won the Golden Glove at this year's Women's World Cup, with England up just coming short, losing 1-0 to Spain in the final.

"It's not been the easiest journey and I wouldn't be where I am today without such incredible people in my corner.
