Andrew Hall, released from Stoke City Academy at the end of last season, pleaded guilty to murdering Megan-Leigh Peat, 15, at a house in Ampthill, Bedfordshire.
The 18-year-old from Flitwick pleaded guilty to murder at Luton Crown Court.
Ms Peat, of Westoning, was found stabbed at the house in Ailesbury Road on 9 June.
Hall admitted stabbing Ms Peat multiple times in the head and body at the house which belongs to a mutual friend.
She died at about 01:30 BST from her injuries and severe blood loss after being treated by emergency services.
Hall, who suffered injuries to his hands, was at the end of a three-year scholarship at Stoke City academy.
The court heard the midfield player was on the brink of signing as a professional with a future in the club's development side.
He had returned home to Robin Close in Flitton and had spent the evening at nearby pubs with Ms Peat, a pupil at Harlington Upper School in Dunstable.
Ms Peat was described as a caring girl who looked after her friends but also enjoyed her social life.
Luton Crown Court heard that she was subjected to an horrific attack.
