Janice Cayman (born 12 October 1988) is a Belgian professional footballer who plays as an attacking midfielder for Leicester City in the Women's Super League and the Belgium national team.

Early life

[edit]

Cayman grew up a fan of Brazilian international Romário, citing him as the inspiration for why she wore the number 11 during her time at Leicester City.[1]

Club career

[edit]

Cayman previously played for Montpellier HSC and FCF Juvisy in the French First Division,[2][3] OH Leuven and DVC Eva's Tienen in the Belgian First Division and Florida State Seminoles in the NCAA,[4] also playing the European Cup with Tienen. Cayman made three appearances for the NWSL's Western New York Flash in 2016, a season which culminated with the team's first ever NWSL Championship.[5] This was also the first trophy of Cayman's professional career.

On 11 July 2023, it was announced that Cayman was joining Leicester City following a successful four year spell with Lyon where she won eight trophies, including two Champions League tournaments.[6] She scored the winner in the 1–0 victory against Everton on 28 January 2024.[7] Cayman extended her Leicester contract on 20 June 2024 through the end of the 2024/25 season.[8]

International

[edit]

She is a member of the Belgium national team,[9] making her first appearance in 2007 at 18 years old in a match against Germany.[10] A highlight of her international career is when she scored four goals during their appearance at the 2016 Algarve Cup, making her top scorer of that tournament. She helped Belgium qualify for their first major tournament, UEFA Women's Euro 2017 as well as to quality for the next tournament in 2022.[6]

On 12 November 2019, Cayman played her 100th match for Belgium against Lithuania.[11] Nearly five years later on 12 July 2024 in a match against Denmark, Cayman became the first women's national team player to appear in 150 matches for Belgium.[10][12] She is only the second Belgian player to receive 150 caps with Jan Vertonghen the first, who received 157 caps over his career.[13]
