Early life and career

Hampton was born in Birmingham, England and grew up in Studley, Warwickshire before emigrating to Spain with her family at the age of five. While in Spain, Hampton was scouted for the Villarreal CF academy where she played as a forward. She studied at the British School of Vila-real where her parents, Chris and Laura, worked as teachers.[2] She moved back to England in 2010 and joined the Stoke City Centre of Excellence.

Club career

Birmingham City

In 2016, Hampton was recruited for the Birmingham City Centre of Excellence by then-Academy Director Marc Skinner who would later be appointed first-team manager. On 5 November 2017, Skinner called Hampton up for her senior debut in a League Cup group game against Doncaster Belles. After making a string of first team appearances, Hampton signed her first professional contract with the club on 5 December 2018.[4][5]

In 2018, after the departure of veteran first-choice keeper Ann-Katrin Berger, Hampton saw an increase in playing opportunities, starting 12 of the 20 WSL matches during the 2018–19 season as the Blues conceded a joint-third low 17 league goals. She was subsequently named the club's Young Player of the Season at Birmingham's end of season awards in May 2019.[6]

Hampton signed a new contract for Birmingham City on 5 September 2019, extending her deal until June 2021.[7] She played 34 of the 35 WSL games in the next two seasons, keeping 6 clean sheets with a 66.5% save percentage.[8] On 26 June 2021, it was announced Hampton would be leaving Birmingham upon the expiry of her contract at the end of the month.

Aston Villa

On 3 July 2021, Hampton signed a two-year contract with FA WSL team Aston Villa on a free transfer.[9]

International career

In February 2013, Hampton received her first call-up to the under-15 squad at the age of 12. She was included in the under-17 squad for the 2017 UEFA Women's Under-17 Championship qualification playing host to Lithuania, Slovenia and Russia. The side progressed to the Elite Round, beating Germany and Poland, and drawing to Italy to top the group to qualify for Euro Finals in Czech Republic. England were drawn against Republic Of Ireland, Netherlands and Norway but only won one of their three ties, finishing third and failing, progress beyond the group stage.[10]

Hampton continued to progress through the under-18 and under-19 age groups. In 2018 she was included in the under-19 squad that contested both the qualifying and elite qualifying rounds, booking their place at 2019 UEFA Women's Under-19 Championship. Hampton recorded two clean sheets in two appearances against Sweden and Italy in the Elite Round at St George's Park National Football Centre and was named Player of the Match against Italy.[11] During the tournament, Hampton played in all three of England's group games as they failed to progress.
