Jessie Gale has joined Barclays Women’s Super League 2 side Portsmouth on loan for the 2025/26 season.
The 19-year-old striker will now continue her development on the south coast.
Jessie joined our academy aged 17 in January 2024 and has since become a key member of our Under-21 squad, helping us to win the FIFA Youth Cup in Zurich in May 2024 and the 2024/25 PGA League Under-21 Division One title.
During the 2024/25 season, Jessie also spent time on a dual-registration agreement with FA Women’s National League side Watford, scoring seven goals and providing five assists across 21 appearances in all competitions.
Jessie has trained regularly with our first-team squad over the past season, gaining valuable senior football experience.
At international level, Jessie received her first call up for England Under-19s in October 2024 and has since become an important member of the young Lionesses side.
We wish Jessie the best of luck for this next stage in her development.
