Defender Maya joined Manchester United Women from Brighton and Hove Albion in July 2022 and scored twice in her debut game that September.
Later that year she was selected for the England squad and played a full game in a friendly against Norway in November 2022 which ended in a draw. She has featured in several subsequent England line ups.
Maya began playing in Guernsey at St Martin's and was coached by her father. She made history locally by playing in the boys' under 16 Muratti team and was making regular trips away to play for Hampshire.
Le Tissier makes her debut as captain in the opening WSL game of the season at Old Trafford against West Ham.
