Rebecca Anne "Becky" Easton (born 16 April 1974)[2] is an English footballer who most plays for FA WSL club Doncaster Rovers Belles as a right-back. Earlier in her career Easton played as a central midfielder, particularly for England at full international level.[3] Merseysider Easton has won league titles with both Everton and Liverpool.

Club career

Easton joined Everton from Liverpool Ladies in 1997[4] and won the league title in her first season with The Blues. She had featured in Liverpool's FA Women's Cup final defeats in 1995 and 1996.[5]

Easton had a second spell with Everton having re-signed from Doncaster Rovers Belles in the 2004 close season,[6] where she had been captain.[7]

In 2012 Easton was released by Everton, but won a contract for the 2013 FA WSL season with Liverpool after a successful trial.[8]

With Easton in the team Liverpool won the league title in 2013 and 2014 but were much less successful in 2015, finishing second bottom. Her 2015 campaign was truncated by a broken arm.[9] Aged 41, she was among four players to be released by the club at the end of the season.[10]

In December 2015 Easton rejoined Doncaster Rovers Belles, where she would combine playing with a role as assistant general manager.[11]

International career

Easton represented England at senior level, playing in England's first ever FIFA Women's World Cup finals appearance in 1995, which ended with a 3–0 quarter-final defeat by Germany.[12]

In 2000 she was named as the Nationwide International Player of the Year, based on her consistency for the national team.[3]

Personal life

Easton worked as a podiatrist in Liverpool,[13] until she began full-time football training during her second spell with Liverpool. She also embarked on a master's degree in sports directorship at Manchester Metropolitan University.[14]
