Speaking about the arrival of the WSL on Sky Sports, Carney said: “I’m really excited, I can’t wait. I'm looking forward to it, going to games, getting into the tactics, the shape, the goals. I've really missed it, even with the short time it's been off and I'm really itching to get back into it.”

The exclusive broadcasting deal will see Sky Sports show a minimum of 35 live games per season, as part of their ongoing commitment to women’s sport.
