Kim Little is looking forward to more success with Arsenal after extending her contract with the Women’s Super League title chasers.
Skipper Little, who first joined the Gunners in 2008, has won six league titles, three FA Cups and five League Cups during 290 appearances across two spells with the club.
She sits seventh in Arsenal’s all-time appearance chart and has played more times for them than any current member of the squad.
Little, 32, said: “I’m delighted to sign a new contract. Thinking back to when I first joined at 17, I’m so proud of the progress we’ve made together.
“Arsenal has been such an important part of my life and over time this club has become my home.
“It continues to be a privilege to represent Arsenal and I’m still so motivated to move this club forward and to be a part of its success.”
While Arsenal have not disclosed details of Little’s deal, boss Jonas Eidevall hinted the Scottish midfielder will remain a Gunner for at least a few more years.
He said: “Kim’s a world-class player and an exemplary professional.
“Her contribution here over many years has been outstanding and we’re so pleased she will continue to represent Arsenal for years to come.
“On and off the pitch, Kim is such an important part of what we’re trying to achieve, so we’re all delighted with this news.”
Third-placed Arsenal remain in contention for the WSL title going into Wednesday night’s clash with leaders Manchester United.
They also have the first leg of their Champions League semi-final with Wolfsburg on Sunday to look forward to.
But Eidevall’s side must face the season run-in without Little, who will not play again until next term after damaging a hamstring.
She has begun to rehabilitate the injury and, according to the Gunners, is expected to be back “for the start of preparations for the 2023-24 season”.
