Norwich City Women are delighted to announce the signing of Charlotte Pernet as a graduate from the club’s player pathway.
The 16-year-old is the second player in a year to make the transition into the senior team, following the arrival of Eloise Morran in December 2022.
Pernet will join Martin Herdman’s set-up as a right-back or central defensive midfielder, whilst her playing style is described as creative and effective.
She joined the Foundation at age nine, moving into the Under-10s age group as part of the Academy Development Programme.
On joining, Pernet said: “I feel very proud to have been asked to sign for Norwich City Women.
“Having been part of the academy pathway since Under-10 age, I already knew some of the squad, but all of the girls and coaches have made me feel so welcome.
“I’m really looking forward to my future with this team."
The pathway is designed to help young females reach their full potential through football, with programmes in place for all different abilities and opportunities for all.
General manager Flo Allen said: “Our player pathway is at the heart of our philosophy and as a football club we pride ourselves on providing opportunities for our talented young players to reach their full potential.
“We are delighted that Charlotte has become the latest graduate from our girls’ player pathway run by our foundation to join our women’s team.
“Charlotte's development has been closely monitored and she joins the squad with excellent references from her pathway coaches.
“Credit must also go to those coaches who have worked closely with Charlotte since she joined the pathway at Under-10s level.”
