Aston Villa announced Norway international Mathilde Harviken in July 2026.

The defender joined 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.
