**Manchester United Women goalkeeper Safia Middleton-Patel has signed a new contract to keep her at the club until June 2028.**
The 20-year-old has been at United since the age of 15 and already has five senior caps for Wales.
**Middleton-Patel told [manutd.com](http://www.manutd.com):** “I am so happy to be continuing my journey with Manchester United and excited about what’s to come in the next three years.
“It was a dream to make my Manchester United debut last year and my ambition is to gradually compete for more minutes while also learning from and supporting the other excellent goalkeepers we have at the club.”
**Matt Johnson, director of women’s football, said:** “We are proud of the progress Safia has made since joining our Academy five years ago and excited by her potential to develop further. Any club challenging for honours needs more than one top goalkeeper; in Safia, Kayla and Phallon, we are fortunate to have one of the strongest groups in women’s football.”
