Millie Turner Completes Permanent Move to Birmingham City

The transfer secures Turner more regular playing time, strengthening Birmingham with senior leadership as they prepare for the Women’s Super League.

Overview

Manchester United confirmed on Wednesday that Turner has completed a permanent transfer to newly promoted Birmingham City for an undisclosed fee.
Turner had two years remaining on her United contract, so the move was a sale rather than a contract termination according to club statements.
United’s director of women’s football, Matt Johnson, said the transfer was driven by Turner’s need for more regular first‑team minutes after she made six WSL starts last season.
Birmingham, who won the WSL2 title under Amy Merricks to secure promotion, welcomed Turner as an experienced leader and quoted her saying, “This is where I want to be.”
Turner leaves after eight years at United with more than 130 league appearances, an FA Cup in 2024 and part of the side that qualified for the Champions League in 2025, and she holds two England caps and is newly engaged to teammate Lisa Naalsund.
