Three of England’s women World Cup stars have been recognised in the New Year honours list alongside the charity work of former rugby league players Kevin Sinfield and Rob Burrow.
Millie Bright, who captained the team in the absence of fellow defender Leah Williamson, receives an OBE while goalkeeper Mary Earps and forward Lauren Hemp are made MBEs. This month Earps was named BBC Sports Personality of the Year.
