Rovers’ record goalscorer Katie Anderton rejoined the club for a second spell in October 2011. The tall and skilful striker first signed in 2003 and was named in Hope Powell’s provisional 30-player England squad ahead of the 2007 World Cup after a string of impressive seasons at club level.
She moved to Doncaster Rovers Belles for the inaugural Women’s Super League season, before making her Rovers return. Often operating in a deeper midfield role last season, she scored three league goals in seven starts.
