Brighton’s FA Cup semi-final hero makes surprise departure following emotional decision to return to former club

Brighton midfielder Nadine Noordam has made the decision to leave the club following her arrival in January 2025. The Dutchwoman made a total of 39 appearances during her short spell with the Seagulls.
Last campaign, the 27-year-old found herself competing against Fran Kirby for the No. 10 position, with the latter often given the nod over Noordam in the starting XI. Noordam, however, remained a constant presence within the side, featuring in all of Albion’s 22 Women’s Super League fixtures.
Across those league appearances, the 27-year-old recorded five assists – the most of any Albion player. A duo of assists came during a 4-1 victory over Leicester City last November, with Noordam’s loose touch allowing Maelys Mpomé to strike before she later laid the ball back to Marisa Olislagers for the left-back to convert.
