Early life and career

Hemp grew up in North Walsham, Norfolk, where she attended Millfield Primary School and North Walsham High School. She took an interest in football at a young age and started playing for local club North Walsham Youth FC. Her youth career started in 2008 at Norwich City where her sister Amy also played. She played her final game for Norwich in 2015 but continued her association with the club for the 2015–16 season. As part of the "Where Greatness Is Made" campaign, a plaque honouring Hemp was installed at North Walsham Youth.[3]

Club career

In 2016, after leaving Norwich City, Hemp joined Bristol City.[4] On 10 September 2016, she made her senior debut for the Vixens and scored the team's third goal in a 4–1 win over Watford.[5] On 19 March 2017, she made her first FA Women's Cup appearance, scoring two goals in a 5–0 win over Millwall Lionesses.[6] In the 2017 Spring Series, Hemp made a total of four appearances, scoring one goal. In April 2018, she was named PFA Women's Young Player of the Year.[7][8] She finished the 2017–18 season with nine goals in 24 appearances in all competitions. On 31 May 2018, Hemp signed with Manchester City.[9]

International career

In February 2015, Hemp received her first call-up to the under-15 squad.[10] In May 2017, she captained England at the UEFA Women's Under-17 Championship,[11] scoring a goal in a 5–0 win over the Republic of Ireland.[12] In September 2017, she was named Vauxhall England Young Player of the Year.[13] In August 2018, she helped England under-20 finish third at the 2018 FIFA U-20 Women's World Cup.[14]

Hemp made her senior England debut on 8 October 2019, coming on as an 86th-minute substitute for Beth Mead in a 1–0 friendly win against Portugal.[15] On 27 May 2021, it was announced that she had been selected in the Great Britain women's Olympic football team for the 2020 Olympics.[16]

In January 2020, Hemp was named by UEFA as one of the ten most promising young players in Europe.[17] On 30 November 2021, she scored her first four goals for England, in a national record 20–0 win over Latvia.[18] In June Hemp was included in the England squad which won the UEFA Women's Euro 2022.[19][20] During the final it was Hemp's corner that was pressed home by teammate Chloe Kelly to create the winning second goal in front of over 87,000 spectators.[21]

Although usually a winger, Hemp was played in the number 9 (striker) role when England played the USA in a friendly at Wembley on 7 October 2022. The experiment paid off for manager Sarina Wiegman with Hemp scoring within the first 10 minutes in a 2–1 England victory.[22]

On 31 May 2023, Hemp was named to the squad for the 2023 FIFA Women's World Cup in July 2023.[23] Hemp scored a goal in England's 6–1 defeat of China.[24] In the quarter-final tie against Colombia, Hemp scored England's equaliser in first half added time as England won 2–1.[25] In the semi-final, Hemp scored the second and assisted for the third as England defeated Australia 3–1 to reach the team's first ever World Cup final.[26]

Personal life

As of 2022, Hemp was in a relationship with fellow footballer Ellie Butler, who currently plays for Rugby Borough.[27]
