A post shared by Nicola on her Instagram account showed the proud parents with their daughter Mia and a screenshot from Wigan’s X account, saying: “Welcome back, Carra.”
Nicola captioned the post: “Yesterday was a good day, watching my girl who is an absolute superstar in the evening, like I have no words. Knowing my boy came on in the day after two months out recovering from injury and operation. You both will always be the greatest thing I have ever done in my life, my heart can’t deal.”
Jamie Carragher’s son, who plays for Wigan Athletic, suffered an injury in the Latics match against Leyton Orient back in August. The centre half was forced off with a knee injury as the League One side were defeated 2-0 at Brisbane Road.

The production follows the journey of fearless heroine Katniss Everdeen as she defies the odds in a gripping tale of courage, hope and unbreakable human spirit.
The Troubadour Canary Wharf Theatre, which was first proposed in September 2024, is a 1,200-seat venue, which will be packed each night. The Hunger Games on Stage is written by Olivier Award-winning playwright Conor McPherson, known for The Brightening Air, Girl from the North Country and The Weir.
Mia Carragher’s previous credits include the independent feature One Night in Istanbul, The Gathering for Channel 4, and she will soon be seen in the new Playground Entertainment series Maigret and the feature film Let’s Love. She graduated from Tring Park School for the Performing Arts in 2022 and studied acting at The Lee Strasberg Theatre and Film Institute.
Liverpool FC legend Jamie Carragher admitted he was “a little bit nervous” ahead of his daughter’s debut in the huge new show. Jamie Carragher spoke to the ECHO about his and wife Nicola’s pride and how he’s feeling as his daughter takes on the role of Katniss Everdeen in the highly anticipated show.
He said: “I’m a little bit nervous because, you know, it’s your daughter, it’s your baby. But I am so excited for her, she’s put so much work in. They’ve been rehearsing for two or three months now and she’s been down in London on her own.

“We’ve been getting down to see her when we can. It’s been full on, they’re not leaving the theatre until 10 o’clock just to make sure it’s right.
“That’s the name of the game, isn’t it? That’s the game that she is in. As I’ve said, she’s put the work in, now go and enjoy it – be Katniss.”
Despite playing in front of thousands during his professional football career, the former Reds defender star says he has only given his daughter advice and support “as her dad” ahead of her starring role.
