Emily Kathleen Orman (born 5 November 2002) is an English professional footballer who plays as a goalkeeper for London City Lionesses in the Barclays Women's Super League (BWSL).

Club career

edit

Chelsea

edit

Orman joined the Chelsea academy at the age of 16 and signed her first professional contract with the club in 2021[1]. She was part of the Chelsea squad that won the Women's Super League title in the 2022–23 season.

Loan spells

edit

During her time at Chelsea, Orman spent loan spells at Crystal Palace in the 2021–22 season[2] and at Reading in the 2023–24 season[3][4]

London City Lionesses

edit

In 2024, Orman signed for London City Lionesses[5]. She made 21 appearances during the season, including 18 in the Women's Championship, as the club achieved promotion to the Women's Super League[6][7]. She was awarded the Barclays Women's Championship Golden Glove at the 2025 Women's Professional Game Awards.[8][9][10] After the club's promotion, Orman was interviewed for TalkSport's "The Women's Football Show" and SkySports's "Pitch to Pod" podcasts.[11][12]

International career

edit

Orman has represented England at youth level, including at under-17 level during the 2019 UEFA Women's Under-17 Championship.[13]. She has also played for England under-19 and under-23 teams.[14][15][16]

2025-26 season

edit

Orman sustained a wrist injury in training in September 2025, which ruled her out of match action for part of the season. This led to Sophia Poor, who was on loan from LCL to Nottingham Forest W.F.C., being recalled to the club.[17] During this period, she made media appearances, including co-commentary on WSL games for Sky Sports, and analysis on BBC's "The Women's Football Show."
