A product of the Chelsea Academy, the 20-year-old spent the 2022/23 campaign on loan at Everton which proved beneficial in helping to educate her on the WSL and the ever-increasing competitive nature of the league.

Beever-Jones returned to the Blues ahead of the start of the 2023/24 season and made an instant impact, stepping onto the field and netting our last-gasp winner in a 3-2 friendly win over AS Roma at Kingsmeadow in September.

Five matches into the WSL season, the young forward has scored two goals in three substitute appearances, the first of which saw her open her senior account with an excellent finish against Brighton & Hove Albion on home soil – a moment she is still trying to process.

‘If I’m honest, it’s hard to describe because it’s all a blur! I remember coming on in pre-season and scoring against Roma. I got a feel for it and I was buzzing with it, but I didn’t want to celebrate too much.

'My family were there for the Brighton game and Emma gave me the nod to come on. I was thinking there is no pressure and just enjoy it because that’s when I play my best football.

‘Sjoeke (Nusken) was having a brilliant game, she wasn’t selfish enough to score a fourth goal and instead set me up to slot it home. It was very emotional. I look back now with my family and friends there, previous coaches who have helped me throughout my career with Chelsea.

'Emma and Denise trusting me to bring me on, it was a very surreal moment I haven’t really processed it.’

Having been with Chelsea from a young age, fans are seeing the emergence of another young talent from within our ranks. Beever-Jones revealed a little more about her playing style, her strengths and how these contributed to her second goal in as many games against Aston Villa last time out.

‘I’m an attacker who can play anywhere in the front line and who wants to get on the ball, be creative and offer something a bit different. Being in a squad like we are, you have to get used to sometimes playing out of position. I’ve looked at that as a real positive.

‘I’ve grown up playing on the wing but I’ve come here and transitioned more into a nine. I see it as a positive that I can understand the game from different aspects. I’m a pacey forward who wants to get in behind or come to feet, turn and create chances for the team.

'I was in that position against Aston Villa for the goal. I needed to stay calm and put it in the bottom corner and I was able to do that.’

At a young age, game time is vital for a player’s development. Beever-Jones looks back fondly on her experiences with Everton and is grateful for a move that was crucial for getting the minutes she required to take the next step.

‘It was really important. Looking back now, it enabled me to learn the WSL league and see how competitive it is. Ultimately, when you’re young you need to get game time and it was a sensible decision to leave here and get that game time, to learn a new style of coaching and how to win games.

‘I look back and I’m very grateful for my time there and for both clubs helping me pick the right club to go to and get that game time.’

Ahead of our meeting with Everton tomorrow, Beever-Jones knows what to expect from our opponents. She praised the principles being instilled by manager Brian Sorensen and knows we will be made to work for a positive outcome.

‘They’re a good team. They have a very good coach in Brian (Sorensen) who wants to build out from the back and from watching them play, they are continuing to do that. They’re a very good club.

'It’s still very early this year and position in the league doesn’t necessarily reflect how good teams are. The derby when they won, they can make themselves very motivated for games. We’ll expect them to come out with a point to prove.’
