The centre-back, who can also play in midfield, joined Palace in the summer of 2023 ahead of their record-breaking, promotion-winning campaign in the Championship, in which she featured 22 times and scored twice.
Nolan has won three caps for her country and was a part of the provisional squad for the Girls in Green ahead of 2023's FIFA World Cup finals.
Having spent time playing and studying in the United States with the University of Hartford, Nolan turned professional in 2020 by joining London City Lionesses.
She went on to make 51 Women’s Championship appearances over the next three seasons and, in 2022/23, won the Lionesses’ Players’ Player of the Season award, before making the switch to Palace.
