Tributes have poured in for 18 year old England Under-19 women's footballer Zoe Tynan, who died on Tuesday.
According to the Liverpool Echo, Tynan died after being hit by a train at West Allerton station in Merseyside. British Transport Police said an 18-year-old woman was pronounced dead at the scene. They are not treating the death as suspicious.

Tynan started her career when she was six years old, playing with Liverpool Feds. She then moved to Everton's Centre of Excellence, where she spent six years. In 2015 she signed for Manchester United, where she made her first-team debut in April. Tynan had recently signed for Fylde Ladies AFC.
