London City Lionesses midfielder Fitzgerald signs new one-year deal | OneFootball

London City Lionesses midfielder Lucy Fitzgerald has signed a one-year contract extension with the club with the option of a further year.

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

Fitzgerald has been with London City Lionesses since day one. She was a member of the very first London City Lionesses side that kicked-off the 2019/2020 season. The 23-year-old has made 102 appearances for The Pride in all competitions in which she has scored five goals. Fitzgerald has featured for London City Lionesses in several positions while she has played for eight different coaches in her time at the club.

Despite London City Lionesses only having a short history, Fitzgerald is a club legend and she has the opportunity to represent The Pride for at least another year after signing a new deal with the club.

After extending her contract with London City Lionesses, Fitzgerald said “It feels great to be back for another season. It’s an incredibly exciting time for the Club and I can’t wait to get started again. With Michele [Kang] coming in and implementing her vision, it feels like the start of something different, with lots of new staff coming in.

“Michele’s ambition for this season is for us to be promoted and every one of us players is truly determined to make it happen. Personally, I want to build on last season, I played and developed a lot, and I want to continue with that.”

Fitzgerald becomes the third player to sign a new contract with London City Lionesses this summer.
