Josanne Potter (born 13 November 1984) is an English Association football Manager (association football) and former footballer who played as a midfielder, most recently for Reading.[3] Originally a left-winger, she matured into a creative central midfield player. At club level Potter enjoyed three separate spells at Birmingham City Ladies and was noted for her crossing abilities and goalscoring record.[4] She played in three FA Women's Cup finals – with Arsenal in 2004,[5] Charlton Athletic in 2007[6] and Birmingham City in 2012. On the international stage, she often had to compete with Rachel Yankey and Sue Smith for a place on the left flank of the England team.[4][7] After 2007 Potter worked as a BBC television football pundit. In June 2023, Potter was appointed the head coach of Rangers W.F.C.
