ARSENAL have secured the future of Australian forward Caitlin Foord after announcing that the experienced attacker has signed a new contract with the Women’s Super League club, extending her stay in north London.
The new deal comes after months of speculation surrounding Foord’s future, with her previous contract due to expire this summer.
Arsenal had previously confirmed that discussions were ongoing with the Australia international, making the announcement a significant boost for the club ahead of the 2026-27 campaign.
Foord has become one of Arsenal’s most influential players since joining from Portland Thorns in January 2020. The 31-year-old has established herself as a key figure in the Gunners’ attack through her pace, versatility and eye for goal, contributing consistently across domestic and European competitions.
Her importance to the squad has grown in recent seasons, particularly during Arsenal’s rise back to the top of European football. Foord played a prominent role in the club’s UEFA Women’s Champions League triumph in 2025 and continued her strong form during the 2025-26 season.
One of the highlights of her recent Arsenal career came earlier this year when she scored the winning goal in extra time as the Gunners defeated Corinthians 3-2 to lift the inaugural FIFA Women’s Champions Cup at Emirates Stadium.
The dramatic strike added another major trophy to the club’s collection and further cemented Foord’s status as a fan favourite.
The contract extension is another important piece of business for ARSENAL as they continue to build a squad capable of challenging for major honours at home and abroad.
The club has already tied down several senior players to new deals in recent months, underlining its commitment to maintaining a strong core within the squad.
For Foord, the agreement ensures that her successful partnership with Arsenal will continue into a seventh season. The forward has surpassed 150 appearances for the club and reached the 50-goal mark during the 2024-25 campaign, milestones that highlight her impact since arriving in England.
With her future now settled, Foord and Arsenal can turn their full attention to the challenges ahead as the club seeks further domestic and international success
