Jenna Clark (born 29 September 2001)[1] is a Scottish professional footballer who plays as a defender for English Women's Super League club Liverpool and the Scotland national team. She has previously played for Rangers and Glasgow City.

Club career[edit]

Clark started her career with Scottish Women's Premier League club Rangers, being promoted from their youth team to the senior squad in February 2017. She moved to Glasgow City in July 2018, and two months later was named in a UEFA Women's Champions League squad for a match in Cyprus when she was aged 16 and still at school.[2] During her time with City, Clark won four Scottish league championships and the Scottish Women's Cup once.[3]

She signed a two-year contract with Liverpool on 10 July 2023.[3][4] She made her Reds debut on 1 October 2023 in a 1–0 Women's Super League win over Arsenal at the Emirates Stadium.[5]

International career[edit]

Clark represented Scotland at various youth levels before making her full international debut in September 2021. She scored a goal during that first appearance for Scotland, a 7–1 win against the Faroe Islands at Hampden Park.[6]
