Cox gained valuable experience during a loan spell at Aberdeen, further enhancing her skills.
On the international front, she has represented England at various levels, up to Under-23.
Reflecting on her move to Nottingham Forest, Cox stated, “From speaking to the coaches and the players, I can only think of good reasons for coming here. I wanted to play under a coach that knows what he wants and gets the best out of the players. This is a really ambitious club, you can see that through its winning history, and I wanted to be a part of it.”

“I’m always excited to meet the other goalkeepers and learn from them, acting as a sponge. As a player, you can expect to hear me before you see me on the pitch. I’m a loud character and I like to have a presence on the pitch, to come for crosses, to sweep up the space in behind, and I’m composed in possession.”
“I had a really good tour, the stadium is lovely, and I learned more about the history of the Club. I’m super-excited to be out there, hopefully, we can get it filled out with fans.”
Cox marks Nottingham Forest’s eighth signing during the current summer transfer window.
