Aston Villa Women are delighted to announce the signing of Norway international Mathilde Harviken, subject to visa approval.
The defender joins Villa from Italian side Juventus with significant experience at club and international level.
Harviken began her senior career in Norway before spells with Fart and Røa, later joining Rosenborg in 2022. She made more than 80 appearances for the club and helped them lift the Norwegian Cup in 2023.
The centre-back moved to Juventus in January 2025 and went on to make almost 50 appearances for the Italian side, featuring in the UEFA Women’s Champions League and winning domestic honours during her time in Turin.
Harviken made her senior Norway debut in 2022 after progressing through the country’s youth ranks. She has since become a regular for her country and represented Norway at both the 2023 FIFA Women’s World Cup and UEFA Women’s EURO 2025.
Speaking after completing her move to Villa, Harviken said:
“It’s a really good opportunity to join a club with such a big history. There are great facilities here and everything you need to perform and continue developing as a player.”
Marisa Ewers, Director of Women’s Football, said:
“Mathilde is a player we’ve been tracking for over two years and we’ve been consistently impressed by her development. She has a lot of experience for her age and we believe she has all the attributes to make an impact here and continue developing. We’re excited to see what she can bring to the team.”
