Birmingham City announce Magill’s pregnancy | OneFootball

Birmingham City have revealed the news that forward Simone Magill is pregnant.

Blues announced the news via a post on their official club website this morning.

The 31-year-old Northern Ireland international attacker is set to give birth to her first child next year.

It has been reported that Magill will miss the remainder of the season. She will remain in light non-contact training with Birmingham City in the early weeks of her pregnancy.

Speaking following the announcement of Magill’s pregnancy, Birmingham City head coach Amy Merricks said “We’re really proud of Si, she’s going to make an amazing parent. We’re looking forward to supporting her on this journey through her pregnancy and as her baby comes into the world, we’re excited to have a Bluenose baby!

“We want to keep Si in and around the environment as much as possible. She wants to remain sharp and play a critical part in this season. We’re looking forward to supporting her with her journey.”

Magill joined Birmingham City in summer 2024 after leaving former club Aston Villa. The forward helped Blues to take last season’s Barclays WSL2 title bid down to the last day before falling narrowly short to eventual champions London City Lionesses.
