Jill Scott: England and Manchester City midfielder announces retirement

Scott has retired from football.

He played in 10 major tournaments, including two Olympics with Great Britain.

Scott is the second most capped player in England's history with 161.

She joined City in November of 2013 after playing for two other clubs.

"I'm so in love with the game," Scott said in a video for The Players' Tribune. "I have been ever since kicking a ball at the age of five. I'll forever be in love with the game."

England and Manchester City team-mate Ellen White, 33, also announced her retirement this week, with her coach set to name her squad for England's final World Cup qualification match on Wednesday.

England lost to Germany in the Euro 2009 final after Scott headed in an extra-time winner.

Scott was a substitute in four of England's six games as the Lionesses avenged their Wembley defeat to win their first major trophy.

The Lionesses won a bronze medal at the 2015 World Cup, as well as being named among the 10 players who "dared to shine" at the upcoming World Cup.

She ended her career with 27 goals from 161 games for England and one from nine for Great Britain after being named captain as she won her 150th cap last year.

She was made an MBE on the New Year's honours list for her contributions to the sport.

In May, Scott confirmed that she would be leaving Manchester City when her contract ended in June.

She won a Women's Super League title, three FA Cup and three League Cup winners' medals with City, and also won the FA Cup once atEverton.

Scott has been invited to return to City's Academy Stadium for a game this season to be officially honoured and celebrated for her service to the club, for whom she made more than 150 appearances.

There's more to come.
