Goldsworthy, Jo

Jo made her league debut for Elmore Eagles on the 3rd September 1997 against Newton Abbot and scored her first goal against Bristol City on the 14th September 1997. 

At the end of the 1997/98 season Jo was voted for as “most improved player” and the following season was “player of the year” as well as “Club person of the year”. 

When Elmore reformed as Exeter City LFC, Jo continued to play for Exeter. She played from 2001/02 to 2006/07 as a forward.

A prolific goal scorer, possibly one of the highest in the Women’s game at Exeter City.

She was player of the year in 2003/04 and also the joint winner of manager's player of the year in the same season.

End of Season Awards 2003-04

Managers Player of the Year - Jo Goldsworthy When looking for someone for this award we both looked for commitment shown on and off the pitch. This included commitment to training/ matches, listening to and putting into practice coaching points, encouraging team spirit/ motivation, organising players/ kit etc and building relations within the club and community. Jo has worked hard throughout last season on the pitch and behind the scenes, again her work rate and commitment was outstanding.

"I never tend to say much as I don’t want people to think I’m boasting. I was a striker and then captain and striker for Exeter City Ladies for years and prior to that Elmore Ladies and a coach for City, Sport England and Devon Active Sports Partnership with clubs and in schools and colleges, absolutely adored it, very blessed by the opportunities I had and incredible people I worked alongside"
