\u2018It was a massive motivator. I\u2019ll be honest, I didn\u2019t realise how difficult it would be to be away from my family and friends when I went abroad.

Walsh's senior career began with Blackburn Rovers before she joined Manchester City as a teenager in 2014. Her first campaign ended with her lifting City\u2019s first major honour: the League Cup. In 2016, she played a pivotal role as City claimed a domestic double, winning a first Women\u2019s Super League title and FA Cup at Wembley.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
Walsh went on to lift the FA Cup twice more during her time in Manchester. She scored the opening goal against West Ham in the 2019 final and played the full match the following season when City defeated Everton.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
After eight successful years in Manchester, Walsh joined Barcelona in the summer of 2022. In Spain, she won eight trophies, including six domestic triumphs and two UEFA Champions League titles.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
