Club career

Manchester City

Toone joined Manchester City in the summer of 2016 from Blackburn Rovers having previously been a youth at Manchester United for six years but moved on due to a lack of senior women's team.[2][3] In July 2016, she made her senior debut as a substitute in an 8–0 win over Aston Villa in the Continental Cup.[4]

She was nominated alongside four others for the FA Women's Young Player of the Year award in May 2018, an award eventually won by Beth Mead.[5][6]

In the 2019–20 season, Toone scored five goals in a League Cup group stage game as United beat Leicester City 11–1 on 21 November 2019, equaling the club record set by Jessica Sigsworth the previous season.[12]

Ahead of the 2020–21 season, Toone signed a new two-year contract with an option for a third.[13]

On 17 October 2017, Toone made her under-19 debut in an UEFA Women's Under-19 Championship qualification match against Kazakhstan, scoring twice in a 9–0 win.[15] She scored 5 across the qualifying campaign as England finished second to Germany in the elite round.[16][17]
