Hampton’s route to the top has been littered with obstacles.
The Chelsea goalkeeper was born with a serious eye condition and told by doctors she should not play football.
Hampton has undergone multiple operations to correct her vision but it is still not perfect and she continues to have depth perception issues.
After defying the odds to get into the professional game, her international career hit a rocky patch after England won Euro 2022 on home soil.
Hampton served as back-up to Mary Earps, but was dropped in the aftermath with reports suggesting it was due to her behaviour.
Boss Sarina Wiegman brought her back into the fold in March 2023, having said Hampton had “sorted out personal issues”.
But Earps remained the No1 and Hampton was once again left without any game time after being named in the squad for the 2024 World Cup.
A move to Chelsea in 2023 helped get her career back on track and she won the domestic treble with her club last season to show she can deliver in big moments.
