England’s football camera crews are in the off‑season replay room, but the fans are already buzzing. Under new head coach Gareth Southgate, the senior team announced a fresh squad that features long‑time defender Kelly and midfield dynamo Megan Bronze—the first team line‑up to strike after England’s triumphant 2025 Euro campaign.
The six‑month build‑up to the new squad has been a rollercoaster. After winning their first major title in 2025, the Women’s National Team left fans delighted but hungry for even more challenge. The national federation’s talent‑spotter surgeons combed through the league, cup shows and international friendlies to find the cream of England’s football‑ing talent.
Kelly (full name, if known) is the youngest to open the backline since the 2025 win. He has already proven the ability to lock down the opposition’s test‑takers, while his stamina over the season made him a standout in the Premier Women’s League. His additions signal a shift to a youthful yet strikingly versatile defence.
Megan Bronze, the midfield maestro who helped tame opposition attacks in the Euro final, keeps her place. Bronze has been a pivotal force this past season, facilitating 18 assists, creating rhythm in midfield and setting up the scoring lines with her precise long‑range passes. Her consistency in the English Super League was what convinced Southgate for squad confirmation.
The squad also see critical reinforcements in the attacking flanks and the goalkeeper position, and it’s a blend of continuity and fresh talent. Southgate stated, “We’ve done a thorough review of every player’s form and attitude. Kelly’s defensive balance and Bronze’s creative spark are exactly what the team needs.” The coach also expressed enthusiasm for nurturing a new generation of footballers while assuring that the core of the squad will stay intact.
The freshly minted squad will face a series of friendly fixtures this off‑season. These matches aim to test tactical changes and the new combination of players, while also giving the squad time to adjust to the new schedule before the next European Championship in 2027. The England women’s team is expected to rally together to maintain its European trophy momentum.
Fans can keep track of the new squad’s progress via the official England Football website, where daily updates and exclusive behind‑the‑scenes content keep supporters connected.
