Having excelled in the England development teams, Jade Moore is now ready to make an impression on a World Cup at senior level.
The 24-year-old picked up some invaluable experiences in the Three Lions youth team set-up, and played a major role as England won the U19s Euros in 2009.
The Birmingham City midfielder made her senior team debut against Finland in March 2012, and has gone on to earn 17 caps.

Moore was named in the squad that travelled to Sweden for the European Championship the following year – along with four other U19s Euro winners – but did not feature.
However, having cut her teeth in the younger age groups, Moore now feels well equipped to deal with the rigours of Canada 2015.
She said: "It’s tournament football that you can’t recreate.
"Playing three games in a week, six games in two weeks; it’s a different kettle of fish to what you get in the [domestic] season.
"So doing it at a younger age obviously gets you used to tournament football. The U19s Euros in 2009 was a really good stepping stone."
Moore, who was a member of the England squad at the U20s World Cup in 2010, continued: "It does take its toll on you, but going through those tournament phases as a kid only helps you get used to it for when you’re older.
"Every couple of years you’re away for a good length of time, but it’s not something that we are not used to.
"Being away for four or five weeks is nothing to us now."
England arrived in New Brunswick on Friday afternoon.
They will play their opening two Group F matches at Moncton Stadium – against France on Tuesday 9 June and against Mexico on Saturday 13 June – before finishing up against Colombia in Montreal on Wednesday 17 June.
Moore featured six times in qualifying and says the Lionesses should be targeting World Cup glory.
She added: "Ultimately that’s what everyone’s here for. We wouldn’t be in the competition if we didn’t want to do that.
"We want to go and show everyone the way we can play.
"And if we get a really good run of games and performances, and results go our way then I don’t see why not."
