Nobbs says promotion would be 'job done' in career

Jordan Nobbs, a midfielder with 71 caps for England and 12 major trophies during her Arsenal career, says helping Newcastle United achieve promotion to the Women's Super League for the first time would be the "job done" in her career. Born in Durham, Nobbs began her career at Sunderland before moving south like many current and former Lionesses.

She was Newcastle's marquee signing last year and made a solid start, finishing sixth. Speaking to BBC Sport, Nobbs expressed her excitement about the prospect of Newcastle's promotion, stating it would be "exactly what I wanted to do." The midfielder, who joined Newcastle under manager Tanya Oxtoby, believes the team is improving after a busy transfer window.

Nobbs emphasizes that while last season's struggles with too many draws need addressing, their goal of promotion remains their main focus. Off the pitch, Nobbs embraces her role as a mentor and guide to her teammates, jokingly earning the nickname "legend" among her colleagues. Newcastle's season begins at home against Wolves on September 6th at 14:00 BST.
