On April 30, England captain Leah Williamson just inked a new two-year contract with Arsenal in the Women's Super League. The 29-year-old defender has been with the club since she was 9, racking up over 250 appearances since her debut back in 2014. She's lifted the league title, two FA cups, four league cups, plus that 2024-25 Champions League trophy where she made the team of the season. And the first Women's Champions Cup in 2026. On the international side, she's got 67 caps for the Lionesses since 2018, leading them to Ural's wins in 2022, 2025. Fans were sweating her future, but the club always felt good about locking her down. Despite leg injuries this season limiting her to just four league games, her leadership and skills from the back make her a top center back worldwide. She's the fourth big name to recommit lately, joining Kim Little, Steena Blacksteenius and Steph Calley, Arsenal's eyeing more moves like Spain's own a battle,
and England's Georgia Standway to chase back-to-back European crowns. With this squad shaping up strong under Renee Sleggers, the gunners look prime to dominate for years ahead.
