Jessie Stapleton
Jessica Stapleton (born 7 February 2005) is an Irish footballer who plays as a defender or midfielder in the Women's Super League 2, for Nottingham Forest, on loan from West Ham United and the Republic of Ireland national team.
Stapleton is from Ballyfermot, and began playing soccer for Cherry Orchard when she was eight years old. When she was 11 she became the first girl to be selected for the representative team of the Dublin and District Schoolboys League (DDSL). In 2020 Stapleton played for Shamrock Rovers in the Women's Under-17 National League. After Stapleton captained Rovers to their 2–0 League final defeat by Cork City, she spoke out against sexist remarks made by internet trolls on the comment section of the live feed.
Stapleton joined Women's National League club Shelbourne for the 2021 season, since Shamrock Rovers lacked a senior women's team. Manchester City had a longstanding interest in signing Stapleton, but regulations arising out of Brexit prevented British clubs from signing any Irish players until they turned 18 years old.
She enjoyed good form in her debut season at senior level, featuring in defence and midfield for Noel King's Shelbourne. Stapleton sometimes played in attack, helping King plug gaps in the Shelbourne team caused by injuries and the departure of several players to professional clubs in the United Kingdom. She was named WNL Player of the Month for October 2021, nominated for Young Player of the Year and named in the Team of the Season. Shelbourne overhauled Peamount United on a dramatic final day to win the 2021 Women's National League title. Stapleton also played in the 2021 FAI Women's Cup Final, but Shelbourne were beaten 3–1 by Wexford Youths.
In 2022 Stapleton continued to play well as Shelbourne claimed a League and Cup "double". She was named Young Player of the Year and retained her place in the Team of the Season. In the 2022 FAI Women's Cup Final Stapleton scored the opening goal and was Player of the Match as Shelbourne beat Athlone Town 2–0 to avenge their defeat in the previous year's final. In November 2022 she was reported to have made an agreement to join West Ham United in June 2023, in preference to several other interested clubs.
On 28 July 2023, Stapleton was announced at West Ham. She made her league debut against Leicester City on 17 December 2023.
