Leicester City Women’s Libby Smith was named as the England U18 Captain during a successful tournament against Canada and Northern Ireland at St George’s Park last week.

Libby came through Leicester City’s Regional Talent Centre and has flourished in her senior career with Leicester City Women scoring three times since joining the First Team in December 2018.

Her move to the Foxes came off the back of a successful stint with Chelsea Women’s Development side where the young striker netted three goals in three appearances for the blues.

The 18-year-old has been a key squad player both on and off the pitch, including helping to inspire the next generation of footballers at Leicester City Women’s Football Camps and School Engagement Events.

Smith is a familiar face in the England set up having featured for England at Under 17 level in 2018 as the Young Lionesses reached the semi-finals of the UEFA Women’s U17 European Championships in Lithuania.
