Spence has played her entire career in London, spending 14 years at Chelsea before making the move to Tottenham in 2022.

She progressed from Arsenal and Fulham's academies and swapped nationalities from England to Jamaica in 2021.

During her time at Chelsea she won five league titles and four FA Cup trophies as part of one of England's most successful squads.

"She was a great team-mate, such a sweet soul off the pitch, but when she got on it, she was an absolute warrior," Chelsea midfielder Erin Cuthbert said.

"Technically, she's got the brains and the skillset. She looked after me from the very beginning [although] she welcomed me to the club with a two-footed challenge!

"She certainly deserves all the plaudits. To have that longevity is something I look up to. Now, she's a leader at Spurs."

Spence was named Tottenham captain in the summer and has gone on to become a key figure under manager Martin Ho.

In her first season at the club she played 22 games, more than in any campaign at Chelsea, and she has played every minute so far in 2026-27.

"I feel like I'm probably in the best shape that I've ever been. I'm recovering quicker, I understand my body a lot more and the nutrition side of things has helped me," said Spence.

"It's understanding what is right for me to recover and just little things. We have all those luxuries now which is amazing for the younger players."
