Chelsea announcement made after brilliant 110-goal midfielder signs up
The Blues have announced that they have extended midfielder Fran Kirby’s contract by a year.
The Chelsea women are still concentrating on finishing the season with a couple more trophies after another impressive season under Boss Emma Hayes.
But the club have made the decision to give Kirby a new contract which will keep her at the club for another couple of seasons
The 29-year-old is the club’s leading women’s goalscorer, having scored 110 times in 175 appearances – signed a two-year deal in 2021 with the option of a further 12 months.
She said at the start of May that she would miss the World Cup with a knee injury sustained in February during a League Cup semi-final against West Ham.
“Kirby is one of the most renowned footballers across the globe, known for being technically gifted and clinical in front of goal,” the club stated on their website.
“We look forward to seeing Fran back in blue next season.”
