Hannah Hampton Extends Chelsea Contract Through 2028

Her retention secures England’s No.1 in goal and gives Chelsea stability as the club aims to reclaim WSL dominance under Sonia Bompastor.

Overview

  • Chelsea announced Tuesday that goalkeeper Hannah Hampton has signed a two-year deal that will keep her at Stamford Bridge until 2028.
  • Hampton had been a free agent after her previous contract expired at the end of June before she agreed the new short-term extension.
  • Since joining from Aston Villa in 2023 she has become England’s first-choice keeper, won the inaugural Yashin Trophy and consecutive Golden Glove awards.
  • Hampton kept seven clean sheets last season, the joint-most in the WSL, and has collected five club trophies with Chelsea across three seasons.
  • Retaining Hampton gives Chelsea a reliable presence in goal as the squad looks to recover from losing the league title to Manchester City and rebuild for next season.
