[6] In the 2003 close season, Yorston joined Fulham Ladies [7] with whom she made her England debut in 2003. Soon after this she suffered a couple of stress fractures that kept her out of the game for nearly a year. [8]

She joined Bristol Academy in the 2005 close season, [9] and went on to have three seasons as club captain. She joined Arsenal Ladies in July 2009, [10] [11] but returned to Bristol in 2010. She was loaned out to Keynsham Town to maintain fitness ahead of Bristol's FA WSL season, which began in April 2011. [12]

At the end of the 2014 season, Yorston left Bristol Academy to join FA WSL 2 side Yeovil Town. [13]

International career

Yorston won 19 caps at Under-19 level and also played at Under-23 level before joining the England senior team. She made her debut, as a substitute, in the game against Germany in September 2003 and played, again as a substitute, in the game against Denmark in February 2004. Her next game for England was not until March 2007 when she was a substitute for Rachel Unitt in the game against Scotland.

In May 2009, Yorston was one of the first 17 female players to be given central contracts by the Football Association. [14]

She was allotted 151 when the FA announced their legacy numbers scheme to honour the 50th anniversary of England’s inaugural international. [15] [16]
