Lauren James signs new Chelsea deal after brother Reece extends

Chelsea secured Lauren James on a new contract through 2030, coming hours after her brother and men’s team captain Reece put pen to paper on a deal that runs until 2032. The pair’s commitments leave both siblings central to the club’s plans. For Lauren, who trained in the Chelsea academy from Under-10 to Under-14 before returning from Manchester United in 2021, staying felt natural.

"I’m really happy and over the moon to have signed a new contract with Chelsea. It’s been my club since I was young, so I’m really pleased to have extended my stay here. I can’t wait to make more memories, hopefully have more success and win more trophies with this amazing club." Chelsea Women’s CEO Aki Mandhar added: "We are delighted that Lauren is extending her contract.

Lauren is one of the most technically gifted players this country has produced, and Chelsea through and through.
