The 33-year-old England international has been playing since she was 16, and she thinks her autism - which was officially diagnosed 2021 - has contributed to her longevity in the game.

She told BBC Sport: "Something that is really good for ADHD and autism is exercise. Having that focus, something to do, keeping moving.

"Training every day is amazing for me. Some of the other girls will be like: 'Are you sure you're 33 because you don't stop?'

"All the things I have because of autism have worked in my advantage."

Bronze noted that having a "hyper-focus on football" and other differences have been a positive when it comes to her performance.

She explained: "How I process things, being super-focused. People always say, 'Oh, you're so passionate about football'.

"I don't know if I'd say I'm passionate, I'm obsessed. That's my autism, it's my hyper-focus on football."

Football helps her in turn as she has something to direct her energy towards each day while staying active.

However, the five-time Champions League winner isn't concerned about what her life will look like once she retires.

She said: "People say they're worried about what I'll do when I don't have football, but I'll find something else.

"Even now with football, my head is everywhere with it because I'm so obsessed.

"Not even just playing but the boardroom, the coaching, the physios. I'm obsessed with it all."
