Ella Toone is one of England’s most exciting football talents and a rising star of the women’s game. An attacking midfielder for Manchester United in the Women’s Super League and a key figure in the England National Team, she brings energy, precision, and a winning mentality to every match—and every stage.
Toone’s football journey began at Blackburn Rovers, where she made 20 appearances and scored 13 goals in the Premier League North. She went on to play for Manchester City, earning a nomination for FA Women's Young Player of the Year before joining Manchester United in 2018. It was at United that Ella truly came into her own. She quickly made history by scoring in seven consecutive league games during the 2018–19 season—setting a club record—and has now made over 130 appearances for the team. In recognition of her leadership, she was named vice-captain for the 2024–25 season.
On the international stage, Toone has represented England from the U17 level through to the senior team, making her senior debut in 2021. Her impact has been immediate and unforgettable. She was part of the squad that won UEFA Women’s Euro 2022, scoring twice and playing in every match. In 2023, she scored the opening goal in the Women's Finalissima and again in the semi-final of the FIFA Women's World Cup, becoming the first England player—male or female—to score in a quarter-final, semi-final, and final of a major tournament. She also represented Great Britain at the Tokyo 2020 Olympic Games and has been selected for the England squad for UEFA Women’s Euro 2025.
Ella Toone is often described as a "household name" by the media, and with good reason. Her achievements, both domestic and international, speak to her talent and determination, but it's her grounded personality, sense of humour, and relatability that make her a standout speaker. Event organisers book Ella Toone not just for her sporting success, but for the inspiration she brings to audiences of all ages. She speaks honestly about the dedication, setbacks, and drive it takes to succeed at the highest level, offering insight into elite team dynamics, leadership, and resilience. Whether she’s speaking to young athletes, business teams, or large public audiences, Ella leaves a lasting impression. In 2022, she was awarded the Freedom of the City of London—just one more milestone in a career that's still on the rise.
