Kelly now works as a broadcaster and pundit, featuring on Sky Sports and Match of the Day Live, covering the FA Women's Super League and 2022 Euros.
Former England Womenโs manager Hope Powell said about her: "Kelly is one of those players who come along only once or twice in a lifetime. In the men's game you'd think of Diego Maradona or Messi, players with a unique talent, and that's what Kelly has."
