Jemma Elizabeth Purfield (born 21 February 1997) is an English professional footballer who plays for Bristol City in the FA Women's Super League.

College career

In 2015, Purfield moved to the United States on a college soccer scholarship, first with South Alabama Jaguars before transferring to Arizona State Sun Devils after two seasons.[2] She captained both teams and earned several individual awards including Sun Belt Conference Freshman of the Year in 2015, and SBC Player of the Year in 2016.[3][4]

Club career

Early years

Purfield began her career with Doncaster Rovers Belles, making her senior first team debut on 20 April 2013 as a halftime substitute in a 4–0 WSL defeat to Chelsea. In doing so she became Doncaster's youngest WSL player.[5] Purfield moved to newly-founded Durham during the 2014 season, scoring three goals in their inaugural WSL 2 campaign as the team finished 6th.[6]

Liverpool

Purfield declared for the 2019 NWSL College Draft but was not selected.[7] She instead returned to England and signed a contract with FA WSL club Liverpool in January 2019.[8]

Bristol City

Following Liverpool's relegation, Purfield left upon the expiration of her contract and remained in the WSL after signing a two-year contract with Bristol City.[9][10]
