Katie Reid became our latest academy talent to make a senior debut on Sunday evening.
The 17-year-old centre-back came on for the final few minutes of our 5-0 victory over Bristol City in the Barclays Women’s Super League.
“It was honestly unreal,” said Katie after the full-time whistle, reflecting on the experience. “Even now, I can't even describe how insane it was: the adrenaline on the pitch, the fan support. Honestly, I just loved it. It was amazing.”
Katie swapped places with Leah Williamson in the 87th minute - another Arsenal academy centre-back who made her senior debut aged 17.
