Midfielder Aurora Galli has extended her stay with Everton to a fourth season by signing a new contract with the club.

The 27-year-old Italy international missed only three league matches last season, starting 19 times, scoring three goals and providing two assists.

Galli told evertontv: “There is real potential with this group. We have unfinished work from last season because we played good football but made too many mistakes.

“This season isn’t about transition; it’s about showing what we have learnt and what we are capable of doing.

“My hope is this season we are flying.”

Everton manager Brian Sorensen added: “When we moved her into a freer role last season, she did really well.

“Hopefully we can build on that this season and she can be even more dangerous in front of goal.

“She has that potential, and it was key for us to keep a player of her quality on board.

“Yaya isn’t even in her prime yet, there is still so much for her to give to the club and for the Italy national team.”
