MILLIE BRIGHT reckons Rachel Daly can play in any position for England with the striker shining in attack as well as defence.
The Lionesses' final Arnold Clark Cup game this year sees them face Belgium tomorrow evening at Ashton Gate.
So far the hosts have netted six times with Daly bagging a brace deployed as a striker rather than her previous role as full-back.
Vice-captain Bright, 29, said: "We all know what Rachel is capable of, but she's also very versatile and it's key to have that in the squad.
"She's a player who is very willing and she'll literally play anywhere – I think she said that a million times to you all.
“But I like to see every player succeed and do well.
