After starting out with local side Southwark Cribbs FC, Potter joined the Blues at the age of eight, winning the FA Youth Cup at Under-16s level and the FA Women’s Academy Cup in 2022/23.
At 17-years-old, Potter became the youngest female player in England to sign a professional football contract, penning professional terms with Chelsea at the beginning of last season.
She then joined Palace on loan for 2023/24, making 21 appearances in all competitions as the club secured a historic Women’s Championship title.
After training with her parent club for the majority of pre-season, Potter now returns to the Eagles to continue her development, linking up with Laura Kaminski’s squad ahead of our first-ever campaign in the Women’s Super League.
Upon returning to the club, Potter said: “I’m really happy, really excited, and really looking forward to it. I had a really good season with the girls last year, so I’m looking forward to getting going again.”
Head of Women’s Football Grace Williams added: “It’s brilliant to welcome Lexi to Crystal Palace for a second season.
“We saw what a fantastic impact Lexi made here last year, and we look forward to working towards and achieving our goals together again, this time in the WSL.”
