Arsenal Women captain Kim Little has signed a new contract at the club.
The 32-year-old midfielder was on Monday ruled out for the rest of the season with a hamstring injury, but there was better news on Tuesday as she extended her stay in north London.
Little first joined Arsenal in 2008 and has made 290 appearances over two spells, scoring 164 goals.
“I’m delighted to sign a new contract,” said Little. “Thinking back to when I first joined at the age of 17, I’m so proud of the progress that we have made together.
“Arsenal has been such an important part of my life and over time this club has become my home. It continues to be a privilege to represent Arsenal and I’m still so motivated to move this club forward and to be a part of its success.”
Arsenal head coach Jonas Eidevall added: “Kim is a world-class player and an exemplary professional. Her contribution here over many years has been outstanding and we are so pleased that she will continue to represent Arsenal for years to come.
“On and off the pitch, Kim is such an important part of what we are trying to achieve here at Arsenal Football Club, so we are all delighted with this news.”
