Aston Villa announced the signing of Norwegian international Justine Kielland in July 2026.

The midfielder joined Villa from German side VfL Wolfsburg, bringing experience from both domestic and European football, as well as the international stage with Norway.

Kielland began her senior career with Stabæk, making 80 league appearances before joining Brann in 2023.
