Ellen White tops the England women's all-time record goalscorers list after scoring 52 goals in 113 appearances

Ellen White is the current all-time top goalscorer for the England Women's national football team.

The striker equalled and set the record after hitting a hat-trick in the 20-0 win over Latvia in November 2021, as the Lionesses were in qualifying for the FIFA Women's World Cup competition.

White had levelled up with Kelly Smith in top spot with her first goal, before setting a new record with her further two goals in what was also the Lionesses' record victory. 

The former Arsenal and Manchester City player went on to add three more goals to her tally during the squad's EURO 2022 campaign as the Lionesses lifted the trophy on home soil at Wembley. Following that success, White announced her retirement from the game. 

Here is the list of England women’s top goalscorers.

1 - Ellen White – 52 goals in 113 appearances
2 - Kelly Smith – 46 goals in 117 appearances
3 - Kerry Davis – 43 goals in 90 appearances
