Scotland midfielder, Erin Cuthbert has signed a new contract to stay at Chelsea until June 2025.

Speaking about her decision to sign a new contract to keep her in West-London for two further seasons, Cuthbert said: “I’m delighted, it’s been a long time coming, but I’m happy to finally get it over the line. This is my club and this is where I want to be.
“The hard work is just beginning, it’s only a stepping stone in where I want to be. I’ve still got a lot to learn, I’ve still got a lot to give to this club. I know I’ve got more in my tank and that I can reach even bigger heights.”
Chelsea Women’s General manager, Paul Green added that he and the club are “delighted” to agree a new contract with Cuthbert, as he hailed her as “key to our success” heading into her prime years as a football player.
On what he hopes Cuthbert can achieve over the next few seasons, Green added: “We look forward to seeing her continue to improve and develop in central midfield in the upcoming years.”
