Newcastle aim to push on after finishing fifth last term
Newcastle have held advanced talks with the aim of signing the England midfielder Jordan Nobbs. The 32-year-old is wanted by the Women’s Super League Two club on a free transfer, as they seek to strengthen their squad for a promotion push next season. Nobbs, who has 71 caps for the Lionesses, has been a free agent since leaving Aston Villa at the end of her contract earlier this summer.
A three-time WSL title-winner with Arsenal in 2011, 2012 and 2019, Nobbs made her senior England debut in 2013 and was part of the Lionesses’ World Cup squad in 2015, although she is not part of Sarina Wiegman’s squad in Switzerland this summer. In 2017, she was named as the Players’ Player of the Year in the WSL.
