Hannah Hampton signs new two-year deal with Chelsea

England international Hannah Hampton has officially signed a new two-year contract with Chelsea. The 25-year-old goalkeeper's previous deal was set to expire this summer, making her renewal a top priority for the club as they look to recover from a challenging 2025-26 campaign.

Since joining from Aston Villa in 2023, Hampton has established herself as one of the world's premier goalkeepers. During her time in west London, she has secured five trophies and cemented her status as the first choice for the Lionesses. Last year, she received the Yashin Trophy at the Ballon d'Or ceremony, recognizing her as the best goalkeeper in the world.

I'm really happy. Chelsea have always been my dream club to play for in England so to be able to extend for another two years is a proud moment. Hannah Hampton

This renewal brings clarity to Chelsea's squad planning following a transitional summer that saw several high-profile departures, including Sam Kerr, Guro Reiten, and former captain Millie Bright. The club's fanbase had expressed growing anxiety regarding her contract status, making today's announcement a significant boost.

Looking ahead, Hampton aims to replicate the elite form she displayed during England's victorious Euro 2025 campaign. Beyond her individual accolades, including back-to-back Golden Glove awards in the WSL, she remains focused on helping Chelsea return to the success levels the club has achieved in recent years.
