Youngster Departs On Loan To Gain Vital Experience

Everton can confirm Issy Hobson has joined Women’s Super League 2 side Nottingham Forest on loan.

The 17-year-old spent the second half of the 2024/25 season on loan at Sheffield United, gaining vital first-team minutes for the Blades. Now in the East Midlands, Hobson will be looking to gain valuable experience in the second tier.

A promising talent, the defender has represented the Lionesses at youth level, making her Under-19s debut as a 16-year-old in October 2024.
