Keira Walsh has become only the 15th England Women's player to reach a century of senior appearances.

The Chelsea midfielder, 29, achieved the milestone at Wembley on Tuesday night during the Lionesses' 2027 World Cup qualifier against Spain.

Despite the impressive feat, Walsh still has a considerable way to go if she wants to claim the top spot for all-time England Women appearances.

So who leads the way?

Who has the most Lionesses caps?

Midfielder Fara Williams played a record 172 times for England Women during an 18-year international career that included three World Cups.

She is followed by another midfielder, Jill Scott, on 161.

They are the only two female players to have reached the 150-cap milestone.

Defender Lucy Bronze, 34, is currently the closest active player to Williams' record, having made a 146th appearance for her country against Spain.

Manchester City defender Alex Greenwood, 32, has played 108 times for England Women.
