Fran Kirby signed for Albion in July 2024, after leaving Chelsea.
The decorated attacking midfielder began her career with Reading, where she quickly established herself as one of the hottest prospects in the game.
A move to Chelsea came in 2015 and a trophy laden nine-year spell would follow. Fran won seven WSL titles, five Women’s FA Cups and two Women’s League Cups, as well as helping the Blues reach the 2021 UEFA Women’s Champions League final.
She won the PFA Women’s Players’ Player of the Year on two occasions, most recently in 2021, which proved individually to be the most fruitful of her career, as she was named the FWA Women’s Player of the Year, the FA Women’s Super League Player of the Year and Chelsea Women’s Player of the Year.
On the international stage, Fran has won 72 caps for England, scoring 19 goals. She was a part of the 2015 World Cup squad that finished in third place, before playing a key part in England’s EURO 2022 campaign, as they beat Germany 2-1 at Wembley to secure the championship.
