Christiansen, who started her career with Everton in 2008, said: “I’m here to try to develop, win and enjoy everything that goes with being a professional footballer.

“I am confident this is the right club and that I can bring a winning mentality, while continuing the great work from the first half of the season.”

Christiansen, who also helped England win the SheBelieves Cup in 2019, added: “I am really happy to be back at Everton, I have a lot of friends here and it is a huge club, so I can’t wait to get going.
