Jodie Leigh Brett (born ) is an English former footballer who played in midfield for Brighton & Hove Albion, and the England Under 19 team.[2]

Early life

[edit]

Born in Portsmouth, Brett was introduced to football at an early age by her father, who took her to Portsmouth matches as a season ticket holder. She began playing football at a young age and spent time in both the Portsmouth and Southampton youth set-ups before moving to the Chelsea centre of excellence at the age of nine.

Playing career

[edit]

Club

[edit]

Chelsea

[edit]

As a member of Chelsea Centre of Excellence Under 17's, Brett was part of the team that won the League and FA Cup in May 2012.[3] Through the course of her time with the Chelsea first team, Brett would see intermittent playing time making 16 appearances in 3 season and scoring twice.

Bristol City

[edit]

Looking for more playing time, Brett joined Bristol City on a long-term loan from Chelsea ahead of the 2016 season.[4] Brett would register 20 appearances and scoring 3 goals contributing to Bristol's promotion to FA WSL 1. The loan-deal was subsequently extended through the 2017 Spring Series.[2][5]

Everton

[edit]

In July 2017, Brett transferred to Everton on a two-year deal.[6][7]

Brighton & Hove Albion

[edit]

On 26 July 2018, aged 22, Brett signed for Albion for an undisclosed fee.

Early into the 2018-19 season, Brett suffered a severe foot injury which required specialist operative treatment. The procedure was not successful.

Brett underwent subsequent remedial operations which precluded her participation in the 2019–20 and 2020-21 seasons.

On 29 May 2021, at the age of 25, Brett announced her retirement from professional football due to injury.

International

[edit]

She was involved with the English selections as captain in the 2015 UEFA Women's Under-19 Championship organized in Israel.[8] Brett was named in UEFA's team of the tournament.[9][10]
