Isobel Goodwin has signed her first professional contract with Aston Villa Women.

The 19-year-old forward recently featured in the matchday squad for our 1-0 win over Tottenham Hotspur in February.

Having recently suffered a long-term injury, Goodwin will continue her rehabilitation before joining up with the first-team.
