Former Bermuda international Aaliyah Nolan is currently enjoying the most prolific spell of her career, with her clinical finishing establishing Bradford City AFC Women as the runaway leaders of the North East Regional Premier Division.
The forward has been in relentless form throughout the 2025/26 campaign, serving as the primary engine for a Bradford side that currently sits atop the table with 45 points. Nolan’s season began with a statement of intent in September, where she dismantled Alnwick Town with a clinical hat-trick on the opening day, setting a high bar that she has managed to maintain ever since.
Her ability to perform both at home and on the road has been a hallmark of City’s success this year. Nolan was among the scorers during a ruthless 9-0 away victory against Sunderland West End and followed that up in November with two goals in an 8-2 demolition of Brunsmeer Athletic.
As the winter months arrived, the Bermudian’s scoring touch showed no signs of cooling. In February alone, she bagged two goals and an assist in an 8-1 victory over Knaresborough Town before finding the net again in a 5-1 home win against Wallsend Boys Club.
Nolan’s consistency has been particularly vital during the season's business end. She was on target in a disciplined 3-0 win over South Shields on March 8, and most recently, she delivered a Player of the Match performance against Harrogate Town on March 22. Her two goals in that encounter secured another 3-0 win.
With Bradford City now firmly in the driving seat for promotion, Nolan’s prowess in front of goal remains the greatest threat to any side hoping to derail the Bantams' march toward the higher divisions.
