Arsenal ace McCabe signs new deal | OneFootball

Arsenal ace Katie McCabe has signed a contract extension with the club ahead of the new Barclays Women’s Super League season.

FAWSL Full-Time were informed of the news via an official club press release from The Gunners this morning.

The 28-year-old Republic of Ireland international has spent more than seven-and-a-half years with Arsenal after joining the club from Shelbourne in December 2015. The player’s career in North London has gone from strength-to-strength with McCabe being an important option for head coach Jonas Eidevall. McCabe has made 193 appearances for Arsenal in all competitions while she has scored 31 goals.

The utility player has won one Barclays Women’s Super League title, one Women’s FA Cup and two FA Women’s Continental Tyres League Cups with Arsenal to date and she will now have her eyes on more silverware after signing a new deal.

After signing on again with The Gunners, McCabe said “Arsenal is home for me and I’m excited to have committed my future to this football club. I’ve grown up here as a player and a person and developed a really special bond with our supporters, which means a lot to me. Over the years, I’ve experienced some amazing moments here – but I believe that the best is yet to come and I know the aim here at Arsenal is to compete for the highest honours.”

Arsenal kick-off the new Barclays Women’s Super League season with a fixture against Liverpool at the Emirates Stadium on Sunday.
