Birmingham City keeper Irvine signs first professional deal | OneFootball

Birmingham City goalkeeper Poppy Irvine has signed her first professional contract with the club.

WSL Full-Time were informed of the news via an official club press release from the Blues this evening.

It has been reported that Irvine has signed on with Birmingham City until summer 2026.

The 18-year-old is in her second spell with Birmingham City after re-joining the club a couple of years ago. Irvine made her first appearance in the senior team as an unused substitute in last month’s 1-0 victory over Sheffield United in the Barclays Women’s Championship. The keeper has largely been gaining playing experience in the Professional Game Academy League with the Blues’ Under-21 side.

Irvine has an exciting future ahead of her and she will remain a Birmingham City player until at least next summer.

After signing professional terms with the Blues, Irvine said “It’s like a dream come true really. Since I was a kid, I’ve been wanting to do this and it means more for me being at Blues because of the support I get here.

“It feels a bit surreal at the minute, hopefully, I get used to it soon.”

Irvine will continue her development with Birmingham City’s Under-21s with a view to pushing for first team minutes.
