Grace
Biography
Already a senior international for England and with a growing catalogue of WSL experience, the future looks bright for Clinton.
Making her senior debut back in October 2020, Grace enjoyed a quick rise through the ranks at Everton and a breakout season in 2020/21. Following the signing of her first professional deal back in April 2021, Clinton would go on to reach another milestone just a few months later, netting her maiden professional goal, against Manchester City in the Continental League Cup. More first-team minutes for the Toffees followed in 2021/22 before Grace completed the switch to United in July 2022, signing an initial three-year deal. In January 2023, Grace joined FA Women's Championship side Bristol City on loan for the rest of the season, and went on to score a winning goal in stoppage-time on her debut; a 3-2 win against Coventry United. Clinton shone during another loan spell in 2023/24, this time at Tottenham Hotspur. The young midfielder helped Spurs to the Women's FA Cup final, but couldn't play against parent club United in our 4-0 win. She was later recognised as the PFA Young Player of the Year. The Merseyside-born midfielder’s outstanding form in the capital was rewarded with her first England cap – a goalscoring bow against Austria in February 2024 – and she repeated the feat on her maiden United appearance seven months later. Grace scored as the Reds beat West Ham at Old Trafford and, after also finding the net in our next game against Everton, her old side, she was selected by supporters as our Player of the Month for September.
