Club career

Chelsea and England team-mate Gilly Flaherty recalled playing alongside Spence in the Arsenal Centre of Excellence.[1] Spence progressed to Fulham's youth team, before signing for Chelsea in 2008.[2]

Chelsea reached the FA Women's Cup final for the first time in 2012, but were eventually beaten by Birmingham City in a penalty shootout after twice taking the lead in a 2–2 draw. Spence's effort was saved by Becky Spencer.[3]

In 2015 Chelsea won their first ever major trophy, in the 2015 FA Women's Cup Final at Wembley Stadium. They then beat Sunderland 4–0 in October 2015 to secure the FA WSL title and a League and Cup "double".[4] At the end of the season Spence signed a new two-year contract with Chelsea.[5]

International career

National coach Mark Sampson gave Spence her first senior call up in October 2015.[6] She won her first England cap on 23 October 2015, as a substitute in England's 2–1 defeat by China in Yongchuan.[7]
