Josie Green (born 25 April 1993)

Women's Super League and the Wales national team
.

Early life

Green was born in Hemel Hempstead, on 25 April 1993, to parents Clive and Liz.[1][2]

Club career

Watford

Green started her career at

Watford F.C. Ladies[1] and made her first appearance during the 2010/11 FA Women's National League season.[3] In February 2016 she left 2nd division Watford for 3rd division Tottenham Hotspur and featured for her new club in the second half of their 2015–16 season.[4] Green stated years later that she left Watford for Spurs due to not enjoying football at that point in her playing career.[2]

Tottenham Hotspur

Green's first full season with Spurs was one of their most successful, with Spurs winning a quadruple including promotion to the semi-professional

FA Women's Super League. Josie signed her first professional contract with Spurs prior to the club's inaugural 2019–20 FA WSL and in June 2020 re-signed with the club through 2022.[6] In August 2020, prior to Spurs' second top flight season, Green was named as the team's new captain after the retirement of longtime captain Jenna Schillaci.[7] Green had served as vice-captain during the 2019–20 WSL season.[8]

International career

Green was born in England, but she qualifies for Wales internationally through her grandfather, who was born in Pontypool.[9]

Her first senior cap came on 21 August 2010 when she was used as a substitute in a 2011 Women's World Cup qualification match vs Azerbaijan[10] She was only 16 at the time of the match and so her appearances shifted to the Wales U19 squad through 2011 and she returned for a stint with the senior national team in 2014.[11] After 2014 she declined call ups in order to spend more time with her family, most notably her father who was dealing with illness.[2] She was brought back into the senior team fold for an October 2018 training camp[12] and on 29 August 2019, Green earned her first cap in five years in a UEFA Women's Euro 2022 qualifying match vs Faroe Islands.[13]
