We are delighted to announce the loan-signing of 18-year-old striker Aimee Claypole from Chelsea.
Aimee signed her first professional contract with Chelsea in November and has been in the academy programme since 2015.
During her time with Chelsea, she has won silverware including the FA WSL Academy Cup and the FA Youth Cup, and was the country’s top scorer in the Women’s Super League Academy for the 2022/23 campaign.
She made her competitive first team debut as a second-half substitute against Aston Villa in the Women’s FA Cup in January 2022.
In March of the 2022/23 season she made her WSL debut, again as a second-half substitute, in a 3-1 victory against Brighton and Hove Albion at Kingsmeadow, and came off the bench once more in their FA Cup quarter-final victory over Reading later that month.
On the international stage, the young forward has represented Finland at Under-15 and England at Under-17, Under-18 and Under-19 during her early career.
