Foord signs new Arsenal Women contract

Caitlin Foord has signed a new contract at Arsenal Women, the latest in a string of players to extend their stays with the club.

The 28-year-old Australia international initially joined Arsenal in 2020 from Portland Thorns and has so far made 94 appearances, scoring 35 goals

In 33 appearances during the 2022/23 season, Foord scored 11 goals with nine assists. She is also expected to represent Australia at this summer's World Cup, having previously played in the 2011, 2015 and 2019 editions. She reached a century of appearances for the Matildas in April 2022.

Foord is the latest Arsenal player to sign a new deal after a flurry of activity in the last few months, with Frida Maanum, Steph Catley and Lia Walti all recently agreeing new terms.

"I couldn't be happier to extend my stay here at Arsenal," the forward told the club's official website after signing her new deal.

"I feel like I'm growing and improving being here in this environment, so I don't want to leave that. I want to continue to get better and to help the team - I enjoy going out and training every day and wanting to be better and being surrounded by world class players. This feels like the right place - the place I want to be.
