SOUTHAMPTON FC Women have signed teenager Georgia Mullett on loan from Women's Super League side Aston Villa until the end of the season.

The 19 year old striker arrives from the Villa, adding more attackers to Remi Allen’s ranks, following a number or recent departures.

Having risen through the youth ranks at Aston Villa, Mullett scored 19 goals in 19 games in the WSL Academy League before making her senior debut in November 2022.

She signed her first professional contract in 2023 and earned an extension last season with eight senior appearances to her name so far.

The England youth international believes Southampton FC's style of play will suite her upon her first taste of regular season minutes.

She said: "The team seems really close and I feel like they can get through anything so I can’t wait to be a part of that.

“I feel like I can offer depth in behind, making those quick runs in behind defences but I can also come and support and pin the ball so hopefully we’ll be able to see that in the second half of the season.”

Women's Head Coach Remi Allen said: “We’re delighted to welcome Georgia to the side, she adds some much-needed depth going forward for us at the moment so it’s great to get her on board.

“She’s a hungry young player who knows how to score goals, so I’m hoping the challenge of the Championship will be one she embraces with us whilst she’s here.”
