Aston Villa Women announced the signing of Mayumi Pacheco from West Ham United for an undisclosed fee on August 16 2021.

The former England youth international, known as 'Maz', joined the Club having spent the previous three seasons in the WSL with West Ham and Reading respectively.

Having made her WSL debut with Liverpool at just 16 years of age, Pacheco also helped England to a third-place finish at the 2018 FIFA U-20 Women’s World Cup.

Pacheco quickly settled into life as a Villan as she featured in every single league game for the side during her debut season, a feat which she also achieved the following campaign as she amassed 50 appearances in all competitions for the club.

The left-back netted her first league goal for Villa during her third season in the claret and blue as she put her side 1-0 ahead away to Arsenal at the Emirates Stadium in October 2023.

Pacheco heads into the 2024/25 campaign with 80 club appearances to her name.
