The 18-year-old Kingston local joined the Chelsea Academy at the age of eight and progressed through the age groups, making her senior debut for the Blues against Aston Villa during the 2020/21 campaign. Fox then went on to make her first start against the London City Lionesses in a 5-0 victory.

Following the signing of her first professional contract in 2021, our No29 went on loan to Championship side Charlton Athletic for the second half of the 2021/22 season.

Chelsea Women general manager Paul Green commented on Fox’s extension: ‘We’re extremely happy to be extending Jorja’s contract for a further two years.

‘She has gained a lot of experience with the team over the past season and her loan to Brighton will now help her development further, gaining important WSL match minutes.’

This follows the recent announcement that fellow young Blue Emma Thompson would be heading to Lewes for a season-long loan, as well as Lucy Watson going on loan to Charlton.
