Club career
editEnglish FA WSL club Lincoln Ladies announced that they had agreed to sign Baker in October 2012,[2] but the transfer fell through when Lincoln later signed Karen Bardsley.
Instead, Baker joined Sky Blue FC in 2013 after being drafted from University of Georgia.[3] She made her debut on 1 June 2013 against Boston Breakers, in which she saved a penalty kick from compatriot Lianne Sanderson in stoppage time.[4] In August 2013 Baker was waived by Sky Blue, who needed the roster space to sign Ashley Nick.[5]
International career
editShe was part of the England U-19 for the 2008 and 2009 edition of the UEFA Women's Under-19 Championship. She was also involved in the 2008 and 2010 edition of the FIFA U-20 Women's World Cup.[6]
In July 2013 Baker helped Great Britain to a gold medal in the 2013 Summer Universiade in Kazan, Russia.[1]
