Club career

Yorston began her career with Southampton Saints. [5] She was inspired by Southampton coach Sue Lopez. [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] .

Personal life

Yorston has a degree in biochemistry and graduated with a Master's from the University of Bath, [17] where she had been awarded a Talented Athlete Scholarship. [18] After completing her Masters she began studying for an MPhil at the FA National Women's Player Development Centre at Loughborough University. [19]

It was the first season after a rebranding of the four highest levels in English women's football. The previous FA WSL 2 became the Championship – eleven clubs competed in the 2018–19 FA Women's Championship.

The 2019–20 Bristol City W.F.C. season was the club's fourth season under the Bristol City affiliation and the organisation's 21st overall season in existence. It was their third consecutive full season in the FA Women's Super League following promotion to the 2017 Spring Season.

The following is a list of records and statistics of the FA Women's Super League — the highest level of women's football in England — since its inception in 2011. Barring total appearances, all statistics do not include the 2017 FA WSL Spring Series, which bridged the gap between the 2016 and 2017–18 season, featuring only 8 games for each team. Many league record team statistics only cover 22 and 14 game seasons, as they have been featured in the league at least more than once.
