Norwich City Women are delighted to announce the signing of Bryony Brodie on an Academy Development Registration contract from Arsenal Under-21s. 

The versatile midfielder, who is comfortable at both ends of the pitch, will spend the 2026/27 season with the Canaries whilst remaining under contract for the WSL side. 

Brodie, 17, joins the Canaries after eight years with the Gunners, having arrived in the capital at age 10. 

She has also represented England at youth level, most recently helping the Under-17s side to a spot in the Euros finals back in May. 

Brodie and the Lionesses won all three fixtures during their camp in April.

Born in Cambridgeshire, she attended satellite sessions for two years at Norwich City's Regional Development Centre from age eight. 

On returning to Norfolk this season, Brodie said: "It’s really exciting to be here; this is obviously a new challenge but I think it's a challenge that I'm ready for. 

"Whilst I’m here, I want to play regularly in Tier 3, stay in the England set-up and play consistently well for Norwich. 

"I think the club wants to be competitive and compete at this level and I’m here to help do that.

"I like to be at both ends of the pitch in both boxes. I like to attack and score goals, but I also help defend when needed and be creative in the final third to try and make stuff happen."

Head of women's football, Flo Allen said: "We are delighted to welcome Bryony to the club.

"She already has significant international experience at youth level and while she is still in the early stages of her career, she has demonstrated that she is ready to compete and excel in our senior environment. 

"We would also like two thank everyone at Arsenal for their trust and support in facilitating the opportunity for Bryony to join us for the season."
