Blackburn Rovers sign former Crystal Palace midfielder Noble | OneFootball

Blackburn Rovers have completed the signing of former Crystal Palace midfielder Ellie Noble on a free transfer.

The Lancashire club announced news of the deal via a post on their official club X account this afternoon.

Noble joins Blackburn Rovers after leaving former club Crystal Palace at the end of last season. The 24-year-old spent two seasons with the South Londoners in which she made four appearances for the club in the Barclays Women’s Championship.

In her time at Crystal Palace, Noble’s progress was severely disrupted by long-term injury which sidelined her for almost a year. The midfielder spent the second half of last season regaining her match sharpness in a loan spell at FA Women’s National League Southern Premier Division club Oxford United. Noble made nine appearances for The Yellows in what was her second spell with the club.

Noble now needs a continuation of regular minutes as she aims to return to her best form and she has linked-up with former boss Simon Parker at Blackburn Rovers. The pair previously worked together at former Barclays Women’s Championship club Lewes.

The midfielder is Blackburn Rovers’ second signing of the summer transfer window. Further squad news will be announced by the club in due course.
