right-back
Outside defensive position
Right-back is a defensive position in soccer, stationed on the right side of the back line.
The right-back marks opposing wingers, supports attacks down the flank, and delivers crosses into the box.
Modern right-backs are expected to be athletic and two-way players: She's been one of the best right-backs in the league this season.
