Nottingham Forest Women head coach, Carly Davies, said, 'We are thrilled to have a player of Jessie's talent join us.
'At such a young age she already has a wealth of experience as a regular starter for the Republic of Ireland.
'Her tenacity, versatility and composure on the ball make her an exciting addition to our squad. We're looking forward to helping her develop and contribute to what we're building to at the Club.'
Stapleton added: 'It's a very historic and ambitious club so I'm delighted to join, and I can't wait to get going.
'Talking to everyone involved at Forest, it showed the ambition of where they want the team to go. I'm looking to help the team get into the WSL, it's a big goal of mine.'
