The Football Association has appointed Sue Day as its new director of women’s football.

She will take up her role in December, replacing the outgoing Baroness Campbell, who had joined the FA in 2016.

Day joins from the Rugby Football Union, where she had been a board member, chief operations officer and chief financial officer.

She is a former England rugby union captain, having won 59 caps for her country.

In 2020, she was made an MBE for services to gender equality in sport.
