Duggan also played in Everton's 2010 FA Women's Cup final win over Arsenal.[7] Her form in the second part of the 2011 FA WSL season led team–mate Rachel Unitt to predict a call–up to the senior England squad.[8]

Manchester City: 2014–2017

After seven years at Everton, it was announced on 28 November 2013 that Duggan had signed with Manchester City.[9] In August 2015, she became the first female player to receive the club's Goal of the Season award following an impressive goal against Chelsea in the Women's Super League.[10] She was part of the team when Manchester City played in the Women's Champions League for the first time.[11] In November 2016, Duggan scored a noted goal in City's Champions League match with Brøndby.[12]

Barcelona: 2017–2019

Toni Duggan signed for FC Barcelona Femení on 6 July 2017.[13] She was part of the squad that finished runners up to Lyon in the 2019 UEFA Women's Champions League Final. On 5 July 2019, Duggan announced she was leaving Barcelona after two seasons in Spain in search of a "new challenge."[14]

International career

In March 2007, 15-year–old Duggan came off the substitute's bench to score on her debut for England Under–17s.[16] She has since represented England at Under–19, Under–20 and Under–23 levels.[2][17] She played in the FIFA U-20 Women's World Cup in both 2008 and 2010.[18] On Duggan's 18th birthday, she scored one of the two goals in England's 2009 UEFA Women's Under-19 Championship maiden final win, against Sweden in Belarus.[19]

Personal life

Like nearly all of today's professional women footballers, Duggan started playing with boys – for an under-eight team known as the Jellytots.[24] Duggan attended Notre Dame Catholic College and graduated from Loughborough College in 2010.[25]

Duggan is an ambassador for Kick It Out, football's anti-discrimination organisation[26] and the charity Saving Lives.[27]

In March 2014, she apologised after 'blacking up' for a fancy dress party to impersonate Whoopi Goldberg from the film Sister Act.[28]

In May 2016, it was reported that Duggan was about to become the first of the England women's football team to reach 100,000 Twitter followers. Duggan commented that, "I like social media and without social media the game wouldn't be where it's at."[29]
