We’re delighted to announce that the club and Kim Little have agreed to exercise the option to extend Kim’s contract by a year, keeping her at Arsenal until at least June 2026.
Kim currently sits third in our modern history appearances chart, with 174 goals for her 363 Arsenal appearances.
Now 34, Kim first joined us in 2008 and is widely regarded as one of the finest and most influential players ever to represent our club.
Kim has won six league championship titles during her Arsenal career, in addition to three FA Cups and six League Cups. She was awarded an MBE for services to football in the 2023 New Year Honours List.
“I’m delighted to extend my contract and play another year with Arsenal,” said Kim. “It’s quite unique to play for a club for the length of time I have, and I don’t take that for granted. That time brings many special moments, and I look forward to making a few more of them.”
Head Coach Renée Slegers added: “We’re delighted that Kim will continue to lead our team and represent our club. She’s a wonderful footballer and captain and has an important part to play in the goals we want to achieve. I’ve learned so much from working with Kim and am looking forward to that continuing as we aim to win trophies together.”
Director of Women’s Football Clare Wheatley said: “Kim is one of the very best – as a player and as our captain. She continues to help drive us forward and set standards on and off the pitch. We value Kim’s contribution immensely, and I know our supporters will be thrilled with the news that Kim’s Arsenal journey is continuing.”
