Jodie Leigh Brett (born ) is an English former footballer who played as a midfielder.
Brett played for Brighton & Hove Albion, and the England Under 19 team.[2]
Born in Portsmouth, Brett was introduced to football at an early age by her father, who took her to Portsmouth matches as a season ticket holder. She began playing football at a young age and spent time in both the Portsmouth and Southampton youth set-ups before moving to the Chelsea centre of excellence at the age of nine.[citation needed]
Career
Chelsea
As a member of Chelsea Centre of Excellence Under 17's, Brett was part of the team that won the League and FA Cup in May 2012.[3]
Bristol City
Looking for more playing time, Brett joined Bristol City on a long-term loan from Chelsea ahead of the 2016 season.[4] Brett would register 20 appearances and scoring 3 goals contributing to Bristol's promotion to FA WSL 1. The loan-deal was subsequently extended through the 2017 Spring Series.[2][5]
Everton
In July 2017, Brett transferred to Everton on a two-year deal.[6][7]
Brighton & Hove Albion
On 26 July 2018, Brett was announced at Brighton & Hove Albion on a permanent transfer.[8]
Early into the 2018–19 season, Brett suffered a severe foot injury which required specialist operative treatment. The procedure was not successful. Brett underwent subsequent remedial operations which precluded her participation in the 2019–20 and 2020–21 seasons.[citation needed]
On 29 May 2021, at the age of 25, Brett announced her retirement from professional football due to injury.[citation needed]
