Ava Baker (born 9 January 2006) is an English professional footballer who plays as a midfielder for Leicester City in the FA Women's Super League. She has been capped internationally for England up to under-19 level.

Club career[edit]

Baker is a product of the Leicester City academy and on 12 January 2022 she made her senior debut as a starter against Manchester City in the FA Women's League Cup just three days after turning sixteen. She made her Women's FA Cup debut later that month, coming on as a substitute during a win against Tottenham Hotspur, before making her FA Women's Super League debut against Reading on 1 May 2022.

She also holds the record as the Foxes' youngest ever goalscorer, when she scored in Leicester's 5–0 League Cup victory against Sunderland on 11 January 2023, two days after her 17th birthday.[1] On 27 May 2023, she scored her first WSL goal for the club in a 1–0 win against Brighton & Hove Albion, which saved the club from relegation.[2][3]

International career[edit]

Baker has been capped by England at up to under-19 level, making her debut for the England under-17s against France under-17s on 24 March 2022, before a first goal against Poland under-17s.[4][5]
