England Lionesses duo get matching tattoos on Women’s World Cup duty as pair ‘complete’ each other
RACHEL DALY and Millie Bright have got matching tattoos at the Women’s World Cup.
The England pair have celebrated their friendship by getting inked in Australia during the tournament.
Daly and Bright have been pals for years and always planned to get matching tattoos together.
However, they have revealed they had not found the right one until heading Down Under.
The pair have got the fraction “1/2” tattooed on their hands to signify that they are not complete without each other.
Daly explained: “It took us ages to find the right one and we ended up going with a half on our hands because she is the other half of me, my life is not complete without her.”
Although they have never played together at club level, both Lionesses grew up in Yorkshire.
Bright was raised in Chesterfield, with Daly born in nearby Harrogate.
Their roots played a part as Daly claims she knew they would be friends for life from the moment they met.
She added: “[Bright] first came into the squad, it was only a couple of camps after me, and we just hit it off straight away.

“It was probably that Yorkshire connection – loud. We always knew, we kind of knew each other when she was at Donny and I was at Leeds and we never looked back.
“We always wanted to get a tattoo together, like a bestie tattoo.”
Both players have starred at the Women’s World Cup, with Bright captaining the Lionesses at the tournament.
As for Daly, she has shown her versatility by already appearing in defence, midfield and attack for Sarina Wiegman’s side.
The Aston Villa star also netted from the penalty spot during England’s shootout victory over Nigeria on Monday.
Her and the rest of the squad will now look ahead to a quarter-final clash against either Colombia or Jamaica this weekend.
