Anna Marie Filbey (born 11 October 1999) is a footballer who plays as a midfielder for Crystal Palace in the FA Women's Championship and the Wales national team. She is described by Tottenham as a "brave and technically-gifted defensive midfielder".
On 11 February 2018, Filbey made her debut for Arsenal, coming on in the 80th minute, replacing Emma Mitchell in a 4–0 Arsenal win over Yeovil Town in the 2017–18 season.[4] That proved to be her only league appearance with the club as she joined Tottenham Hotspur on 1 August.[5] In February 2021 she joined Scottish Women's Premier League club Celtic on loan until the end of the 2020–21 season.[6]
Filbey has represented England at the youth level for the U17 and the U19 team. On 20 September 2018, Filbey received a call up for the Welsh national team,[7] but was later forced to pull out due to injury.[8]
She made her senior international debut for Wales on 8 October 2019, starting a 1–0 UEFA Women's Euro 2021 qualifying away win over Belarus.[9]
