Chelsea: Erin Cuthbert signs a new contract to stay with WSL champions by 2027. | Football news
Erin Cuthbert signed a new Chelsea contract that will keep her at the club until the summer of 2027.
The 26-year-old Scottish midfielder won over 250 appearances for Chelsea, winning six WSL titles, and the second is the longest player of the women’s team who served the current player behind Millie Bright.
“It’s been eight years, but the feeling of playing for this club never leaves,” said Cuthbert, who also won four FA Cups and two League Cup with Chelsea.
“It’s a good time to think about how much I came in in the last eight years. If you had told a girl who joined Chelsea eight years ago that she would be here, I wouldn’t believe you. I fell in love with the club and they fell in love with me. That’s special.”
The head of women’s football, Paul Green, said: “Erin is one of the leaders on the team, and now she is in the premiere. She was a key player in our success in the last eight years and has recently surpassed 250 appearances for the club, testifies to her reliability and consistency.
“We have seen her develop in one of the best central midfielders in the world and look forward to seeing her how she continues to progress in the coming years.”
Cuthbert – which won 74 caps for its country, reaching 23 times – helped Chelsea in the semifinals of the women’s FA Cup with a victory over Crystal Palace on Sunday, while Chelsea sits at the top of the WSL table as they look to defend their crown.
