“There were a lot of tears at full-time, especially when I saw my family, because they were the people that come me through those dark moments,” said Kelly.

“I am so grateful to be out at the back end, but if that’s a story to tell someone who maybe experiences something the same, then tough times don’t last and just around the corner was a Champions League final. I won that and now a Euros final, I’ve won that.

“So, thank you to everyone that wrote me off, I’m grateful.”

Kelly has also thanked England head coach Sarina Wiegman for helping her turn her season around.

Wiegman kept faith in Kelly during her “dark moments” and the winger stressed how pivotal she was to her success.

“She is bloody amazing,” said Kelly. “She is an incredible women. What she has done for this country, we should all be so grateful for.

“What she has done for me, individually, she gave me hope, when I probably didn’t have any. She gave me an opportunity to represent my country again. I knew that I had to get game time, because representing England is never a given.

“But what she has done for the women’s game, not just in England, she has taken it to a whole other level.

“The work doesn’t go unnoticed from the staff that are behind her, they are incredible. people and I am so grateful to have worked with such amazing staff members.”
