Club career

Yorston began her career with Southampton Saints. She was inspired by Southampton coach Sue Lopez. In the 2003 close season, Yorston joined Fulham Ladies with whom she made her England debut in 2003. Soon after this she suffered a couple of stress fractures that kept her out of the game for nearly a year.

She joined Bristol Academy in the 2005 close season, and went on to have three seasons as club captain. She joined Arsenal Ladies in July 2009, but returned to Bristol in 2010. She was loaned out to Keynsham Town to maintain fitness ahead of Bristol's FA WSL season, which began in April 2011.

At the end of the 2014 season, Yorston left Bristol Academy to join FA WSL 2 side Yeovil Town.

International career

Yorston won 19 caps at Under-19 level and also played at Under-23 level before joining the England senior team. She made her debut, as a substitute, in the game against Germany in September 2003 and played, again as a substitute, in the game against Denmark in February 2004. Her next game for England was not until March 2007 when she was a substitute for Rachel Unitt in the game against Scotland.

In May 2009, Yorston was one of the first 17 female players to be given central contracts by the Football Association.

Personal life

Yorston has a degree in biochemistry and graduated with a Masters from the University of Bath, where she had been awarded a Talented Athlete Scholarship. After completing her Masters she began studying for an MPhil at the FA National Women's Player Development Centre at Loughborough University.
