On February 7, 2021, she became the all-time top goalscorer in the FA WSL with 55. Arsenal striker Vivianne Miedema later surpassed that total. White ended her career with 61 WSL goals, none of them from the penalty spot.
She scored her fourth goal of the tournament in the last-16 match against Cameroon and then added another for Phil Neville's side in a 3-0 quarter-final win over Norway.
In the semi-final against the USA, White levelled the scores at 1-1, but saw a second goal disallowed by VAR. She also won a penalty for England, but that was not converted and the defending champions won 2-1, with England going on to lose to Sweden in the third-place play-off.
England head coach Sarina Wiegman has paid tribute to "world-class" operator Ellen White after the Lionesses' record scorer announced her retirement.
As the Lionesses prepare for the European Championships this summer, Sarina Wiegman has named her first provisional squad for the tournament.
