Birmingham City Sign Millie Turner from Man United

New Defender Joins City’s Women’s Side

Birmingham City have completed the capture of defender Millie Turner, who leaves after eight full seasons with Manchester United. Turner was part of the Red Devils’ rebuild when the club re‑entered the second tier for the 2017/18 campaign. The transfer represents a notable career shift after 189 appearances and a single goal for United.

The undisclosed fee marks the end of a long tenure for Turner, who joined United during its reformation and has become a fixture in the back line since. She now sees Birmingham City as the next step in her development, describing the club’s culture as exactly what she wants to be part of.

“This is where I want to be,” Turner said, highlighting the team’s fighting spirit. “The way that the girls fight for each other and play for each other, it’s something that I really want to be part of.” She added that Birmingham’s project feels exciting and that there is no limit to what they can achieve together.

Performance Record at United

During her final season at Manchester United, Turner featured 15 times across all competitions and netted once. Those numbers sit alongside her overall tenure of eight seasons and 189 league‑style matches. The experience she brings to Birmingham will be a key asset as the club looks to advance in the domestic pyramid.

Birmingham’s new signing is already being praised for her defensive pedigree and leadership qualities. Fans view her arrival as a strong foundation for the squad’s ambitions in upcoming competitions. The club’s management hopes Turner’s presence will help elevate the team’s defensive solidity and ambition.
