The experienced defender joined Chelsea from Barcelona ahead of the 2024/25 season and has become a key part of Sonia Bompastor's side, making 56 appearances, scoring five goals and helping the club win four trophies across two seasons.

She said: "With the move to Stamford Bridge, it's a really exciting time to be part of the team.

"I feel like this is the right thing for me at this time.

"I've really enjoyed the last two years being at Chelsea and being back in England, and I feel like we're in a place now where we're moving forward as a club."

Bronze has made 148 appearances for England since her debut in June 2013, scoring 22 goals, and was a key member of the Euro 2022 and Euro 2025-winning squads.

She started all six matches at Euro 2022, scoring in the semi-final win over Sweden before featuring in the final against Germany at Wembley.
