Toni Duggan Retires from Football at Age 33

The former England forward reflects on her career and her role in changing perceptions of women's football.

Duggan began her professional career with Everton at 16 and played for top clubs including Manchester City, Barcelona, and Atlético Madrid.
She earned 79 caps for England, scoring 22 goals and helping the team reach the World Cup and European Championship semi-finals.
Duggan returned to Everton in 2021 and played last season after giving birth to her daughter, Luella, in March 2023.
She is proud of her contributions to the sport, including being the first English player to join Barcelona in 31 years and advocating for better maternity conditions for female players.
