Club career

Yorston began her career with Southampton Saints.[4] In the 2003 close season, Yorston joined Fulham Ladies[5] 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.[6]

She joined Bristol Academy in the 2005 close season,[7] and went on to have three seasons as club captain. She joined Arsenal Ladies in July 2009,[8] 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.[9]

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.[10]

Personal life

Yorston has a degree in biochemistry and graduated with a Masters from the University of Bath,[11] where she had been awarded a Talented Athlete Scholarship.[12] After completing her Masters she began studying for an MPhil at the FA National Women's Player Development Centre at Loughborough University.[13]
