Arrival and Immediate Impact

> “I’d been interested in the league for a long time now and it was a goal for me to get here one day,” — Emilie Joramo, who Brighton signed on a free transfer at the end of June
Path to the Women’s Super League
Joramo’s career trajectory includes a Norwegian Cup victory with Rosenborg—the club’s first in 21 years—and a Europa Cup final appearance with Hammarby last season. She credited those experiences with building the physical and mental readiness required for England’s top tier.
Role Within Brighton’s System
Manager Dario Vidosic has emphasized a possession-based approach, and Joramo believes her work ethic aligns with that philosophy. She stresses a desire to retain the ball, create forward passes, and anticipate play several steps ahead. Her self-assessment highlights a “100 %” commitment level, rejecting any notion of partial effort.
Adjusting to Life in England
Transitioning to the south coast presented logistical challenges, including a larger medical and support staff compared to her previous clubs. Joramo noted the need to learn the roles of multiple physiotherapists and other personnel. Off the pitch, her girlfriend’s relocation to England has provided personal stability, allowing Joramo to explore the city and balance football with other activities.
National Team Outlook
Since debuting for Norway’s senior side in 2022, Joramo has earned three caps and featured for the under-23 team. She hopes that regular minutes in the Women’s Super League will strengthen her case for selection ahead of Norway’s potential two-legged playoff against Romania, followed by a possible tie with Albania or Wales for a spot in the 2027 Women’s World Cup.
Looking Ahead
Joramo’s stated objective is to contribute maximally to Brighton’s campaign while continuing her development. She acknowledges the higher intensity and faster pace of the league, describing it as “the perfect place” to refine both strengths and areas needing improvement. Her patience and willingness to adapt suggest she will be a key figure for Brighton as the season progresses.
