Taylor Hinds featured once for Jamaica, in a friendly last year
The Arsenal left-back Taylor Hinds has received her first call-up to the England senior side having opted previously to represent Jamaica.
The 26-year-old defender is one of three new faces called up by Sarina Wiegman for friendlies against Brazil and Australia this month, alongside Arsenal teammate Katie Reid and the Aston Villa midfielder Lucia Kendall.
Hinds, who joined Arsenal from Liverpool in the summer, had represented England at under-17 and under-19 level before deciding to play for Jamaica. She featured once for the Reggae Girlz, in a friendly against France in October 2024, but had not played competitively and has subsequently returned to the England fold, with the Lionesses' left-back berth there to be claimed.
"We have been following Taylor for a long time," Wiegman said. "She's come through the pathway. She has dual heritage so she's eligible for us. We started having conversations and she hasn't played much, but we are in a new cycle and I want to see talented players in some different positions. She wants to see what her chances are and it's good for us to see her in this environment."
