Maya Le Tissier

St. Martins A.C.

Le Tissier grew up on the channel island of Guernsey. She first played football at the age of four for local boys' club St. Martins A.C., coached by her father, Darren. With no girls' teams on the island, Le Tissier would fly to Hampshire to play for the county team twice a month from the age of 13, doing so for two years until the time commitment meant she was missing too much school and too many training sessions. She continued to play for St. Martins until the age of 16.

Brighton & Hove Albion

On 1 July 2018, Le Tissier joined the academy at Women's Super League club Brighton & Hove Albion. She was quickly promoted to the first team, being named as an unused substitute for a WSL match against Arsenal on 25 November 2018, and made her senior debut on 5 December, starting and playing the full 90 minutes of a 5–1 League Cup group stage win against Crystal Palace. She made her league debut four days later starting against Chelsea and scored her first goal for the club on 9 May 2021 in a 3–1 league win against Bristol City. She was named as Brighton Women's Young Player of the Season at Albion's end-of-season awards for both the 2020–21 and 2021–22 seasons. In March 2021, she was named by Goal.com in the NXGN 10 best wonderkids list. Le Tissier nominated for PFA Women's Young Player of the Year in June 2022 but lost out to Lauren Hemp, winning the award for a third consecutive season.

England

Youth

Having been invited to an England under-15 south west regional camp, Le Tissier went on to captain the England under-15 women's national team in a single match against the Denmark Under-15s in February 2018. In September 2018, Le Tissier was named captain of the under-17s ahead of 2019 UEFA Women's Under-17 Championship qualification. England won all six qualification games without conceding and Le Tissier was named to the final squad for the 2019 UEFA Women's Under-17 Championship in Bulgaria. She started all three games as England were eliminated at the group stage on head-to-head goal difference having tied on six points with Germany and Netherlands. Her step up to under-19 level came on 6 March 2020 against Sweden in the La Manga tournament. She made her under-23 debut at the age of 19 in a friendly against Belgium on 25 October 2021.

Senior

In November 2022, Le Tissier received her first senior England call-up for friendlies against Japan and Norway. She made her debut on 15 November, playing the full 90 minutes in a 1–1 draw with the latter opponent. On 18 November 2022, her England legacy number was announced as number 226. In May 2023, Le Tissier was named to the standby list for the 2023…

Le Tissier's father, Darren, previously played amateur football for St. Martins A.C. She credits him for introducing her to the team of four-year-old boys he was coaching, of which she has said: "credit to the boys back home, if they didn't just see me as another footballer, then I might not be where I am today." Despite coming from the same small island of Guernsey and sharing a surname, Le Tissier is not related to the former England international footballer Matt Le Tissier, although the two families know each other and Darren had previously played football with Matt. Maya Le Tissier's step brother is England international Alex Scott, which has been the case "since [they] were kids". The pair played together on Guernsey and would travel to England together for training. In May 2022, Le Tissier signed up to footballing charity Common Goal, pledging to donate at least one percent of her salary.
