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.
