**Jessica Naz** (born 24 September 2000) is an English professional [footballer](/source/Association_football) who plays as a [forward](/source/Forward_(association_football)) for [Women's Super League](/source/Women's_Super_League) club [Tottenham Hotspur](/source/Tottenham_Hotspur_F.C._Women) and the [England national team](/source/England_women's_national_football_team). She previously represented England at [under-17](/source/England_women's_national_under-17_football_team), [under-19](/source/England_women's_national_under-19_football_team) and [under-23](/source/England_women's_national_under-23_football_team) youth levels.

## Club career

Naz came up through the [Tottenham Hotspur](/source/Tottenham_Hotspur_F.C._Women) academy,[3] but made her senior debut for [Arsenal](/source/Arsenal_W.F.C.) on 23 February 2018, coming on as a [substitute](/source/Substitute_(association_football)) for [Heather O'Reilly](/source/Heather_O'Reilly) for the last three minutes of Arsenal's 1–0 win over [Everton](/source/Everton_L.F.C.) in the [2017–18](/source/2017%E2%80%9318_FA_WSL) season.[4]

Naz rejoined Tottenham later in 2018 and helped Tottenham achieve promotion to the [Women's Super League](/source/Women's_Super_League), although she missed the [2019–20 season](/source/2019%E2%80%9320_FA_WSL) due to an [anterior cruciate ligament injury](/source/Anterior_cruciate_ligament_injury).[3] She returned from injury in December 2020, and in February 2021, signed a contract extension through June 2022 with an option for an additional year.[3]

In December 2021, Tottenham manager [Rehanne Skinner](/source/Rehanne_Skinner) elaborated that she believes Naz could become a more dangerous presence, who is "more than capable of scoring goals on a regular basis".[5]

In March 2022, Naz was named Young Player of the Year at the London Football Awards,[6] beating teammate [Esther Morgan](/source/Esther_Morgan_(footballer)) in the process.[7] On 30 October 2022, as a substitute in the [2022–23 WSL](/source/2022%E2%80%9323_Women's_Super_League) season, she scored two goals in a humiliating 8–0 defeat for [Brighton & Hove Albion](/source/Brighton_%26_Hove_Albion_W.F.C.).[8]

In February 2023, Naz extended her contract with Tottenham for two and a half years.[9]

On 21 January 2024, as part of the [2023–24 WSL](/source/2023%E2%80%9324_Women's_Super_League) season, and as a [substitute](/source/Substitute_(association_football)), Naz scored a dramatic winning goal in a 4–3 victory over [West Ham](/source/West_Ham_United_F.C._Women).[10][11]

On 9 December 2025, it was announced that Naz had suffered an [Anterior cruciate ligament injury](/source/Anterior_cruciate_ligament_injury) (ACL) for the second time in her career and would undergo surgery.[12][13]

## International career

### Youth

Naz has represented England at multiple youth levels, from [under-17](/source/England_women's_national_under-17_football_team) up to [under-23](/source/England_women's_national_under-23_football_team).[1]

On 1 October 2018, with the [under-19](/source/England_women's_national_under-19_football_team) squad in [2019 Under-19 Championship qualification](/source/2019_UEFA_Women's_Under-19_Championship_qualification), Naz scored a [hat trick](/source/Hat_trick) in a 9–0 victory against [Malta](/source/Malta) in the opening match of the group stage.[14] In April 2019, she scored a further two goals against [Sweden](/source/Sweden_women's_national_under-19_football_team) and one against [Italy](/source/Italy_women's_national_under-19_football_team) in the elite round, helping the England squad to reach the final tournament, with the team winning all their games in the qualification rounds.[15][16] On 16 July, Naz scored a late goal against [Germany](/source/Germany_women's_national_under-19_football_team) in a 2–1 defeat in the [2019 Under-19 Championship](/source/2019_UEFA_Women's_Under-19_Championship) group stage, where England finished in third place in Group B.[17]

In November 2021, Naz was named in the under-23 team,[18] featuring in a 9–0 win against [Estonia](/source/Estonia) on 30 November.[19] In February 2022 she was named in the U23 squad for two fixtures against [France](/source/France).[20] In September 2023, Naz featured in matches against Norway and Belgium,[21][22] as part of the squad for the new U23 European League during the 2023–24 campaign.[23]

In October 2023, Naz was again named in the England squad for the U23 European League.[24] On 18 October, as a substitute, she scored the opening goal in a 2–0 win against Portugal with her first touches of the ball.[25][26] On 30 November, Naz featured in a match against [Spain](/source/England_women's_national_under-23_football_team) as a 90th-minute substitute,[27] and on 4 December against France as part of the starting eleven.[28]

### Senior

Naz received her first [senior](/source/England_women's_national_football_team) call-up on 14 May 2024 for the four [UEFA Euro 2025 qualification](/source/UEFA_Women's_Euro_2025_qualifying) matches played that summer.[29] She was initially only named as a standby player, but was promoted to the full squad following the withdrawal of [Lauren James](/source/Lauren_James) through injury.[30] She made her senior debut on 12 July, coming on as a 71st-minute substitute in a 2–1 win against the [Republic of Ireland](/source/Republic_of_Ireland_women's_national_football_team).[31][32] Naz has been awarded the Legacy number 230 by The Football Association.[33]

Having not played for her national team since February 2025, and missing out on being part of the [Euro 2025](/source/UEFA_Women's_Euro_2025) squad, Naz was called up as a replacement for [Jess Park](/source/Jess_Park) in the October 2025 friendlies against [Brazil](/source/Brazil_women's_national_football_team) and [Australia](/source/Australia_women's_national_soccer_team).[34]
