Amanda Nildén joins from Juventus

We are delighted to announce the signing of defender Amanda Nildén on loan from Serie A side Juventus, subject to international clearance and a work permit.

The 25-year-old Sweden international will join our Women’s first team on loan until the end of the season, with an option to make the deal permanent in the summer. She will wear the number six shirt.

Born in Stockholm, Amanda began her career in Sweden, making her professional debut for IF Brommapojkarna before making the switch to Damallsvenskan side, AIK.

Ahead of the 2018/19 campaign, the defender signed for Brighton & Hove Albion and spent two years at the club, being part of the side that featured in their first season in the Barclay’s Women’s Super League.

She returned to Sweden for the 2020/21 campaign, signing for Eskilstuna United, before joining Juventus in August, 2021, where she has made 62 appearances and scored seven goals.

During the 2021/22 campaign, she was part of Juventus’ triple-winning side as they won the Serie A (league), the Coppa Italia – beating A.C. Milan 2-1 in the final - and the Suppercoppa Italiana, while having experience in the UEFA Women’s Champions League, featuring on 15 occasions in the competition.

Having progressed through the age groups for Sweden national teams, Amanda made her senior debut in February, 2021, and was part of their squad for the UEFA Women’s Euro 2022, where they reached the semi-final of the competition. To this date, she has made seven appearances for the national team.
