Jorja Fox (born 28 August 2003) is an English professional footballer who plays as a right-back for Women's Championship club Newcastle United, on loan from Women's Super League club Chelsea.

Club career

Fox joined Chelsea's academy aged 8. ^[3] She made her club debut with Chelsea in a 4–0 away victory against Aston Villa in the 2020–21 campaign. ^[4]

In the same season, she was handed her first start for the club in a 5–0 win over London City Lionesses. ^[5]

She made her UEFA Women's Champions League debut, replacing Guro Reiten away to Servette on 9 November 2021. ^[6]

On 6 January it was announced that Fox had joined FA Women's Championship side Charlton Athletic for the remainder of the 2021–22 season. ^[7]

On 23 August 2022, it was announced that Fox had joined Women's Super League side Brighton & Hove Albion for the remainder of the 2022–23 season. ^[8] She returned to Chelsea in May 2023 after sustaining an anterior cruciate ligament rupture while on loan. ^[9]

On 15 August 2024, Fox signed a contract extension with Chelsea until 2027 before joining newly promoted WSL side Crystal Palace on loan for the 2024–25 season. ^[10] However, on 19 September, it was announced that Fox had suffered a second ACL injury in pre-season. ^[11] She remained with Crystal Palace until 4 January 2025 when she returned to Chelsea to continue her recovery. ^[12]

On 4 September 2025, it was announced that Fox had joined Women's Championship club Newcastle United on loan for the 2025-26 season. After 870 days recovering from ACL injuries, she made her return to competitive football in a start against Nottingham Forrest on 24 September 2025. ^[13] Reflecting on her time spent recovering from injury and how it changed her perspective on football, she said "I often let it control how happy I was outside of football, but now I'm able to put stuff in perspective a lot better, which I think is good both on and off the pitch. My whole life, football has been what I'm good at, and it's been a way to show who I am and what I can do, and ultimately, I missed that feeling and can't wait to get a bit of my flair back." ^[14]
