Who is Izzy Milne?
Izzy Milne is an 18-year-old defender who formerly played for Chelsea’s U18 academy. Not
only has Izzy been playing for Chelsea, but she has also represented England U18’s at an
international level. At a young age Izzy played for a boys' team before switching to a girls'
team, from then she went to Arsenal for a trial in which she succeeded. Izzy played with them before turning to their rivals, Chelsea in their u12’s squad. Izzy stayed with Chelsea all through the age groups to now, the U18’s where she has left to gain experience with us.
Izzy was scouted by Michigan State university which will allow her to be a student athlete,
allowing her to do her studies whilst playing and gaining experience in football or shall we say, soccer, for them!
After personally watching Izzy twice, once at the Nottingham Forest friendly and the other
being the recent Billericay Town friendly, I can see she is going to be a good player and
prospect to add to the squad and I’m excited to see how she plays within the competitive league of the championship, I also hope she gains the experience she’s looking for to progress further within her footballing career.
Welcome to Southampton Izzy, us Saints fans are looking forward to welcoming you in with
cheers at St Marys❤️🤍
