Portsmouth defender Barrett signs one-year professional deal | OneFootball

Portsmouth defender Nicole Barrett has signed a one-year professional deal with the club.

Pompey announced the news via a post on their official club website this evening.

Barrett has spent the last two seasons with Portsmouth after joining the club from Maidenhead United in summer 2022. She was an ever-present for Pompey during last season’s FA Women’s National League Southern Premier Division title success.

While Barrett is a strong defender, she has proved to be dangerous in the opposition box. She chipped in with seven league goals in 2023/2024. She will be hoping for another successful campaign this season in the Barclays Women’s Championship.

After retaining Barrett’s services on a professional basis, Portsmouth manager Jay Sadler said “Nic has become a prominent figure within the playing squad ever since she joined us a couple of seasons ago.

“Her dynamism and creativity from full-back has played an important part in our success in recent years and that will remain invaluable moving forward.”

Barrett is the 11th player to have agreed professional terms with Portsmouth this summer. She has joined teammates Hannah Haughton, Riva Casley, Georgie Freeland, Jazz Younger, Sophie Quirk, Emily Pitman, Annie Rolf, Ella Humphrey, Izzy Collins and Scarlett Williams in going full-time with Pompey ahead of the 2024/2025 Barclays Women’s Championship campaign.
