Jo made her Senior debut for England in the successful 4 -1 win over Italy in February 2005.

Having come through the England Youth ranks Jo is a confident player with amazing agility.

Jo proved her ability as a top-class international in the 1-0 victory over Norway at Oakwell in May this year, keeping a clean sheet and remaining alert even in the fifth minute of added time.

Having made a number of important saves Jo picked up the Player of the Match Award, in that same game, another first in her burgeoning international career.

Jo’s confidence has increased as she has got to know England’s first choice backline after gaining valuable experience, including a penalty shoot-out when England played-off against China in the Algarve Cup in March.

She started England's first two games at Women's Euro 2005 in the 3-2 win over Finland and the 2-1 defeat against Denmark.

This season Jo has embarked on a career in the Army, and after missing the first three months of the domestic season, has recently re-signed for Birmingham City.
