Leicester City attacker Draper signs first professional deal | OneFootball

Leicester City attacker Denny Draper has signed her first professional contract with the club.

WSL Full-Time were informed of the news via an official club press release from The Foxes this afternoon.

Draper is a product of the Leicester City academy system. The 17-year-old made her senior debut for the club last season. Draper made four appearances in total for Leicester City in the Barclays Women’s Super League in 2023/2024 in which she scored one goal.

The player is a hot prospect for the future and she will now continue her development at Leicester City after signing professional terms with the club.

After signing her first professional deal, Draper said “This is a really proud moment for me and my family. Coming through the Academy, this is what you dream of. For this to now be a reality is an amazing feeling.

“Being around the First Team last season really helped me develop and there is a pathway that others can follow. I’ve grown as a player and a person during my two years in Leicester and the Academy has been influential in me making the jump to the First Team.”

Draper becomes the fourth player to sign a new contract with Leicester City this summer.
