BARNSLEY woman and Lioness Bethany England is due to start a new season on Sunday.

The Kingstone woman, 30, plays for Tottenham Hotspur who host Crystal Palace from 2pm at Leyton Orient’s Brisbane Road. England has 74 goals in the WSL, four behind the league’s all-time top-scorer Vivianne Miedema who has moved from Arsenal to Manchester City this summer. She has been plagued by injuries in recent years and has been left out of recent England squads, having played 26 games for the Lionesses including a World Cup final.

Lucy Watson – from Royston – has been loaned by Chelsea to second tier Southampton for the season. The 20-year-old striker, who played for England’s youth teams, has struggled with injury since moving to the Blues.

She spent the last two seasons at Crystal Palace and Charlton Athletic.

Meanwhile, Barnsley FC women return from a two-week break on Sunday.

The Reds will look for their first win in the National League Division One North when they visit York City. They visit Huddersfield on Thursday from 7.45pm.
