Signy Aarna (born 4 October 1990) is an Estonian forward currently playing for Finnish side Åland United as well as the Estonian national team. Her previous clubs include Finnish outfit Pallokissat and Estonian club FC Lootos, competing in the Estonian top division, the Naiste Meistriliiga.

Club career

Originating from Ahja, Põlva County, Aarna started her football journey in 2003 with FC Lootos’ youth setup, initially positioned as a goalkeeper. Throughout her youth career, she secured Estonian championships in 2005, 2007, and 2008 across different age categories.

FC Lootos

Aarna advanced to FC Lootos' senior team in 2008, participating in the Esiliiga, Estonia’s second-level women’s league. That season, the team clinched the league title, with Aarna finishing as the leading scorer by netting 48 goals. From 2009 onward, she played in the premier division, the Naiste Meistriliiga, representing FC Lootos. She holds the record as the club’s most experienced player, accumulating 121 appearances and scoring 166 goals in league and cup contests combined.

Pallokissat

Although receiving offers from other teams within the Meistriliiga, Aarna remained loyal to her hometown club until her move abroad. Following the conclusion of the 2013 campaign, she secured her inaugural professional contract with Finnish Naisten Liiga club Pallokissat. In her first season there, she tallied 13 goals over 21 appearances, leading her side in scoring and contributing to their historic third-place finish—their inaugural podium achievement. The subsequent 2015 season saw a similarly impressive performance as she scored 17 goals, once again topping the club’s scoring charts.

Åland United

Prior to the start of the 2018 season, Aarna transferred to Åland United.

International career

Aarna made her senior debut for Estonia during the 2009 Women's Baltic Cup, marking the occasion by scoring against Latvia. She rose through the ranks by representing Estonia at Under-17 and Under-19 levels. On 26 November 2021, she reached a milestone by earning her 100th cap amid the 2023 FIFA Women's World Cup qualification matches.
