Liverpool extend contract of attacker Daniëls | OneFootball

Liverpool have taken up the option to extend the contract of attacker Yana Daniëls ahead of the new season.

The Reds announced the news via a post on their official club website this morning.

Daniëls was set to be out of contract with the Merseyside club this summer but they have exercised an extension option.

The 32-year-old Belgian international has enjoyed two spells as a Liverpool player. She first represented the club in the 2018/2019 season before returning in summer 2021. Daniëls has made well over 50 appearances for The Reds in all competitions while she was a member of the Barclays Women’s Championship title-winning side in 2021/2022.

After extending her stay with Liverpool, Daniëls said “I’m really pleased. I’ve been here a few years now, so this really feels like home. It’s nice to extend.

“My first spell here was a bit short but it was great to come back. I have always liked Liverpool, the city, the people and the fans and it just feels like a family club – what I stand for, so it’s a nice feeling.”

Liverpool have agreed new deals with three first team players this week. Long-serving defender Niamh Fahey and forward Leanne Kiernan have also put pen to paper.
