Ellen White, celebrated for her participation in six major England tournaments, played a key role in securing the Euro 2022 victory.
Jill Scott, Ellen White, and Anita Asante, all former England national team members, have recently been honored with induction into the Women’s Super League Hall of Fame.
Both Scott and White were integral members of the victorious Lionesses squad in the Euro 2022, marking the conclusion of their illustrious playing careers.
Asante, with a notable record of 71 caps for England, has a decorated career including five English league championships and four FA Cups, mostly with Arsenal.
This trio represents the third group to join the WSL Hall of Fame since its inception in 2021.
The inaugural inductees were Chelsea’s manager Emma Hayes, alongside ex-England stars Rachel Yankey and Fara Williams.
In 2022, four more former Lionesses – Karen Carney, Eni Aluko, Katie Chapman, and Kelly Smith – were also honored with this prestigious recognition.
Post-retirement, Anita Asante has ventured into coaching, taking roles with England U23s and WSL’s Bristol City.

White holds the record as England women’s top scorer, netting 52 goals in 113 appearances for the Lionesses.
Her WSL career spanned 144 games, featuring stints at Arsenal, Notts County, Birmingham City, and Manchester City, where she netted 61 league goals, once a record.
