Biography

Rachel became only the second Women’s player in history to reach the 100-cap mark (the first was Gillian Coulthard).

The left-winger missed out on the squad for Euro 2009 but roared back to form in World Cup qualifying and celebrated her 100-up with a goal and the captain’s armband as Turkey were defeated 3-0 at Walsall's Banks's Stadium.

She also scored England's second goal in their 2-0 victory over eventual champions Japan in the FIFA Women's World Cup 2011.
