Chelsea FC has officially announced the contract extension of Erin Cuthbert, securing the talented midfielder until the summer of 2027. This move marks a significant commitment from both the player and the club, as Cuthbert continues to be a cornerstone of Chelsea's dominance in the Women's Super League.

Since joining from Glasgow City in 2017, Cuthbert has made an indelible mark on the team. With 256 appearances and 12 major honours, including seven Women's Super League titles, her impact is undeniable. Only captain Millie Bright has been with Chelsea longer among the current squad.

"If you had told the girl who joined Chelsea eight years ago that she would still be here, I wouldn't have believed you," said Cuthbert. "I have fallen in love with a club, and they have fallen in love with me. That's special."

Paul Green, Chelsea's head of women's football, praised Cuthbert's development and leadership. "Erin is one of the leaders in the team and now in her prime. We have seen her develop into one of the best central midfielders in the world and look forward to seeing her continue to progress in the upcoming years."

This contract extension not only highlights Cuthbert's importance to Chelsea but also underscores the club's ambition to remain at the pinnacle of women's football. With Cuthbert at the helm of the midfield, Chelsea are poised to continue their legacy of success in the Women's Super League and beyond.
