Everton send Issy Hobson to Rosenborg after new Contract

Everton Women have made an early call on Issy Hobson’s development, sending the 18-year-old defender out on loan to BK Rosenborg just months after handing her a new contract.

The deal will keep her in Norway until November, giving her a full run of games in the Toppserien.

Hobson has already had a taste of senior football, with previous loan spells at Sheffield United and Nottingham Forest. She was also brought back earlier this season when Everton were dealing with injuries, which showed how much the club trusts her.

She made her mark back in 2024 when she scored a stoppage-time equaliser against Arsenal Women, becoming the youngest goalscorer in Women’s Super League history at 16 years and 180 days.
