Arsenal Women have confirmed Steph Catley has signed a new contract with the club.
The left-back’s importance to Jonas Eidevall rose in the midst of Arsenal’s injury-hit season as she filled in at centre-back as well as her usual position at left-back.
The 29-year-old extending her stay in north London carries on the work Arsenal have done to retain core members of their squad, with Catley the 10th first team player to extend her contract since May 2022 (including herself on May 7 2022).
“It feels amazing – this feels like home,” Catley said. “I’ve made some incredible friendships here and when the offer came around I knew exactly what I wanted to do and exactly where I wanted to be.
“I’ve never been happier playing football and I feel like this team is very special — we’re building something special and in the future we’re capable of achieving anything.”
Head coach Jonas Eidevall said: “I’m delighted Steph has signed a new contract with us. Steph is one of the best defenders in the game and brings so much to this group both on and off the pitch.
“She’s a model professional and has delivered time and again when called upon throughout my time here, so we’re all pleased to say Steph will continue to be a part of Arsenal for years to come.”
