The 71-cap England international returns to the North East after spending the last 15 years with Arsenal and Aston Villa in the Barclays Women's Super League (WSL). She currently holds the record for the most WSL appearances with 208 in total.

Her career started at Sunderland, leaving for Arsenal in 2010. In her 12 years with the Gunners, she would make 270 appearances, scoring 81 goals. Nobbs would also go on to win 12 domestic trophies in North London, including three WSL titles and four FA Cups.

The midfielder made the switch to the West Midlands in January 2023, going on to make 67 appearances for the Villans, scoring seven times.

On the international stage, Nobbs was part of the Lionesses squad that finished runners-up at the FIFA Women's World Cup in 2023, as well as a third-place finish in 2015.

On signing for the Magpies, Nobbs said: "I think they are a very ambitious club and, speaking to everyone, the goal is to get promoted and push women's football in the North East. I want to be part of that.

"I've always had a winning mentality, and it's the same mentality here, every game is like a cup final. I want to be part of a successful club that push to the next level."

Manager Becky Langley said: "Jordan's experience speaks for itself. She knows what it takes to win and has achieved so much in her career, both domestically and internationally, and we are absolutely delighted that she is joining Newcastle United.

"She has long been one of the best midfielders in the country and she will undoubtedly bring a lot of quality to our squad.

"She is hungry to achieve success with this club, and we can't wait to work with her."
