[edit]

In December 2015, Carney left Birmingham for the second time in her career, transferring to FA WSL champions Chelsea on a two-year contract. She was described as "world-class" by Chelsea manager Emma Hayes, who previously worked with Carney at Arsenal and Chicago Red Stars.[36]

"She can make a massive difference. She is a very experienced international player, who has great quality and vision with the ball at her feet. She has been the real playmaker for both her former club Birmingham and for England as well, so it was a no-brainer for Chelsea to go after her."

Kelly Smith, MBE[37]

During the 2016 FA WSL, Carney scored 3 goals in 16 matches.[18] Chelsea finished in second place with a 12–3–1 record.[38] She scored the game-opening goal in the club's 4–1 against Doncaster on 24 March off a penalty.[39] After the match, Hayes noted, "Karen Carney was at the heart and the core of everything, especially in the first half, and she looks like she's been playing at Chelsea for years. I thought she was instrumental in everything we did, whether she was on the left side, down the middle, or on the right."[39] She scored Chelsea's second goal in the 4th minute of a 4–0 against her former club, Birmingham City on 28 August, in her hometown of Solihull.[40] She was named the club's Player of the Year[41] and was short-listed for England Women's Player of the Year.[42]

After extending her contract with Chelsea through 2020,[41] Carney's four goals in the seven matches she competed in during the 2017 FA WSL ranked third in the league.[18] Chelsea finished in first place during the regular season with a 6–1–1 record.[43] During the 2017–18 FA WSL season, she scored three goals in eight matches, including a brace against Yeovil on 29 October.[18] Chelsea won the league title as well as the 2017–18 FA Women's Cup.[18]

Carney made her senior international debut in England's 4–1 victory over Italy in 2005, coming off the bench to score England's fourth goal. She was the youngest player to earn a senior debut during Hope Powell's tenure as England coach.[12] The same year, she was an integral part of the team at the UEFA Women's Euro 2005 and scored a last-minute, game-winning goal in the 3–2 win over Finland, which earned her significant media attention.[48]

Carney stated the game was her favourite moment in her career: "Getting my 100th cap for England was a real honour... It's every boy's dream to play at Wembley so for me being a girl and leading the national team out at one of the most iconic stadiums in the world is a moment I will never forget."[10]

In May 2015, England manager Mark Sampson named Carney in his final squad for the 2015 FIFA Women's World Cup, hosted in Canada.[53] Carney scored in England's 2–1 group stage wins over Mexico[54] and Colombia.[55] England eventually finished third.
