Arsenal Women have secured a major boost with the news that club legend Leah Williamson has put pen to paper on a new contract, ensuring her future remains in north London.

The England captain, who has been a cornerstone of the Gunners' defense for years, has already made 282 appearances for the club, finding the net 17 times. Her trophy cabinet at Arsenal is already impressive, boasting one UEFA Women's Champions League title, one FIFA Women's Champions Cup, one Barclays Women's Super League crown, four League Cups, and two FA Cups.

Williamson's leadership extends far beyond the club level. As captain of the Lionesses, she etched her name into history books by leading England to back-to-back UEFA European Women's Championship titles in 2022 and 2025. Her remarkable contributions to the sport have been recognized with an OBE following the first Euros victory, followed by an MBE in 2026. On the international stage, Williamson has earned 67 caps for England and scored five goals.

The defender's individual accolades continue to pile up, with a Ballon d'Or nomination in 2025 and inclusions in both the FIFPRO World XI and the UEFA Women's Champions League Team of the Year that same year. For fans of the Gunners, this new deal is a clear signal that one of the game's finest talents will continue to wear the famous red and white for years to come.
