A commanding centre half, English defender Jodie Bartley joined Celtic as new manager Fran Alonso’s first signing since his appointment.
Moving from English Championship side Coventry United, Bartley began her career at 17 with her local club Yaxley before captaining Peterborough Northern Star for five seasons. Moving up the leagues, she moved to Loughborough Foxes before moving to Championship Coventry United last September, where she caught the eye of then Lewes manager Alonso, ahead of making the switch midseason to Scotland. Moving north of the border, Bartle expects it to be a step up from England’s second flight, as she prepares for top tier football for the first time in her career.
