Chelsea striker Aggie Beever-Jones has opened up on the "overwhelming" moment she signed her first professional contract and the "surreal" experience of playing alongside her idol, Fran Kirby.
The 19-year-old, who is currently enjoying an impressive loan spell at Everton, was scouted by Chelsea while playing for a local boys side and came through the academy ranks before being called up to train with the first team. After catching the eye of manager Emma Hayes, Beever-Jones was handed her senior debut at the age of just 17, coming off the bench in a 4-0 win over Aston Villa.
The teenager penned her first professional deal with the Blues in the summer of 2021 before spending the subsequent season on loan with Championship outfit Bristol City. And the striker is continuing to flourish during her stint at Walton Hall Park this term, something she in part attributes to the lessons learnt during her time at Chelsea's Cobham training ground.
