We announced the signing of Jordan Nobbs on a permanent deal in January 2023.

The England international joined the Aston Villa from Arsenal on an 18-month contract, with an option to extend.

Nobbs adds serious pedigree to our ranks having won the Barclays WSL (x3), Vitality Women’s FA Cup (x4) and FA Women’s Continental Tyres League Cup (x5) in her time with the Gunners.

The 32-year-old midfielder also has over 70 international caps to her name.

Donning the number 88 shirt during her first season as a Villan, Nobbs went on to feature 15 times in all competitions during the second-half of the 2023/24 campaign.

The midfielder also got off the mark in style for the club as she bagged a hat-trick away to Brighton & Hove Albion in February 2023 as she helped Villa to a dominating 6-2 victory.

Nobbs went on to feature 29 times for Villa during her first full season in the claret and blue in addition to netting a further two goals as well as registering two assists.

She made history during the 2024/25 campaign when she became the all-time WSL appearance holder as reached 193 appearances in the side's match with Brighton & Hove Albion.

The number 8 went on to make more history in December 2024 as she became the first-ever player to reach 200 WSL appearances.
