AI Summary

Jordan Nobbs, a seasoned midfielder with 71 caps for England and 12 major trophies won during her tenure at Arsenal, has set her sights on a significant milestone in her career. If she can help Newcastle United secure promotion to the Women's Super League for the first time, she considers it a "job done."

At 33 years old, Nobbs joined Newcastle as their marquee signing last year and has made a commendable start in the second tier, where the team finished sixth.

Hailing from Durham and starting her career at Sunderland, Nobbs reflects on the necessity for many players, including current and former Lionesses, to move south as women's football professionalized. She expressed her commitment to Newcastle by stating:

"I've always said it would be like job done, it really would. There wouldn't be many tick boxes that I think I could possibly do."

Her passion for the club is evident, as she noted:

"As soon as I heard from Newcastle [I knew] that is exactly what I wanted to do. To get a North East team - which we all had to leave back in the day - promoted, it would be an achievement that I would love to have. We're praying it happens."

Nobbs' ambition not only highlights her dedication to Newcastle United but also underscores the growing competitive spirit in women's football.
