Niamh Lucy Peacock (born 22 March 2008) is an English professional footballer who plays as a defender for Women's Super League 2 club Portsmouth, on an Academy Development Registration from Arsenal. She has represented England at the under-15, under-17, and under-20 levels. She is the first-ever player in WSL2 history to be signed on an Academy Development Registration (ADR).[2]
Peacock began playing football at the age of five, joining her local team, Isleworthians Youth FC, where she was the only girl on the team.[3]
She was encouraged to attend a Chelsea FC Talent ID session aged 5 & a half, and impressed the club but was too young to play for their U7s team. However, Chelsea allowed her to attend their weekly sessions and Peacock stayed with them for a season and a half before trialling for Arsenal Women's U9’s Player Development Centre Team.[4]
After a successful trial, Peacock officially joined the Arsenal academy at the age of eight, where she initially played as a midfielder.[2][3][5]
