Laura Blindkilde Brown pens first pro deal

Aston Villa Women are delighted to award Laura Blindkilde Brown with her first professional contract, subject to FA approval.

The 18-year-old enjoyed a stellar campaign with our WSL Academy last season, resulting in 24 goal contributions.

Laura had played under her birthname 'Brown' up to the end of the 2020/21 season, but has chosen for her Danish middle name to be on the back of her shirt for 2021/22 and beyond.

Laura is known for wanting to set the tempo in games and also possesses an exciting level of technical ability.

Manager Carla Ward said: "Laura's impressed me a lot since I've been here.

"She's got great quality and is someone we see being at this club for a long time.

"We're delighted that Laura wants to be part of this project."

Congratulations, Laura!
