Grace Clinton is an English footballer who plays as a midfielder for Everton of the FA WSL.[1][2]

Club career[]

Clinton came through the Everton academy. In preseason ahead of the 2020–21 campaign, then-16-year-old Clinton was called up to train with the first team after manager Willie Kirk singled her out as "a really talented teenager, but she's probably our sixth-choice midfielder. She could play for every Championship team and possibly a couple of WSL teams."[3] She scored during a 5–0 preseason friendly win against Championship side Blackburn Rovers.[4][5] She made her competitive senior debut for the club on 3 October 2020, appearing as a 74th-minute substitute for Izzy Christiansen in a 6–0 FA WSL victory over Aston Villa.[6] On 1 November 2020, Clinton was named as a substitute for the delayed 2020 Women's FA Cup Final at Wembley Stadium. She was unused as Everton lost to Manchester City 3–1 in extra-time.[7][8] She made her first start for the club on 18 November 2020 in a Merseyside derby as Everton beat Liverpool 1–0 in the League Cup.[9][10]

International career[]

Clinton has been capped by England at under-17 level.[11]
