England Defender Alex Scott Has Hinted She Could Retire From Football After Euro 2017

The 31-year-old, who plays right-back for Arsenal, made her England debut in 2004 and has since been capped 134 times.

Scott intends to give football one more year before reaching a final decision, and hopes the tournament in Holland next summer will see her land an elusive title in the international game.


"I'm making sure I leave no stone unturned and the only thing that's missing from my trophy cabinet is that gold medal, so that's the big aim over the next year," Scott said. 

"Then I'll sit down and evaluate and see what happens."




Scott has played at three previous European Championships and three World Cups as well as the London 2012 Olympics, without yet being on the trophy-winning side, despite landing a host of honours with club side Arsenal Ladies.

England Women finished as Europe's leading team at the World Cup last summer, beating Germany in the third-place play-off and have high hopes for next year's finals after qualifying with two games to spare.

Scott sees a long-term future as a television anchor, and has been working this season on the Premier League's international shows.

The Arsenal player added; "I don't just want to be a pundit - I want to be presenting shows as well."
