Niamh Charles, a talented full-back for Chelsea and the England women’s national team, has risen through the ranks significantly since her debut at just 16. Originally joining the Liverpool academy as a forward, she transformed into a versatile defender under coach Emma Hayes at Chelsea. Charles played a key role in her club's successes, including a memorable Champions League final appearance. Recognized as one of the most dependable players in the Women's Super League (WSL), she is now poised to showcase her talent at Euro 2025, marking a potential turning point in her career.
Born in Merseyside, Charles joined Liverpool academy as a teenager, originally as a forward. A senior debut followed in 2016, against Sunderland, with Charles just 16-years-old at the time.
Although it would end in a disappointing 4-0 defeat, Charles had enjoyed a truly breakthrough season. She had also received her first senior England call-up over the course of that season.
