(The Guardian) Beattie retires from international football
Jen Beattie, the Arsenal and Scotland defender, has called time on her international career aged 31. Having made her senior debut for Scotland aged 16 in 2008, she has racked up 144 caps and scored 24 goals over the last 15 years.
“Representing Scotland has been an absolute honour and a dream come true,” she said. “Thank you so much to every single staff member and player that has made my experiences so memorable and enjoyable. I’ve made friends for life. I’ve been a part of the national team for almost half of my life and it’s been incredible to contribute to the growth of the game. I look forward to supporting Scotland from the stands and I wish Pedro [Martínez Losa] and the team all the best for the future.”
