Sophie Harris (footballer)

Sophie Harris (born 25 August 1994) is an English football goalkeeper who plays for Brighton & Hove Albion.

Harris is from North Hykeham in Lincoln, England. She began playing for Lincoln City's centre of excellence. In 2010 she was called into England women's national under-17 football team and moved to London to join Arsenal's academy.

Harris progressed into Arsenal's first team squad, but her development was temporarily derailed by a shoulder injury and the untimely death of her mother. She moved to Nottingham Forest on loan and then signed for London Bees ahead of the 2014 FA WSL season.

In July 2018, Harris transferred to top tier Brighton & Hove Albion, whose coach Hope Powell said: "She already has some good experience at a relatively young age, and I am very much looking forward to working with her this season."

When Marie Hourihan was injured in a defeat by Manchester City in February 2019, Harris came on as a substitute to make her league debut. Harris was subsequently named the Professional Footballers' Association (PFA) Fans' Player of the Month for February 2019.
