Everton Women have opted to extend Aurora Galli's contract by a further year. The Italian international was set to be out of contract at Goodison Park this summer but will now remain on Merseyside for another 12 months.

What happened?

Galli joined Everton from Juventus in summer 2021 and has played an important role for The Toffees throughout her time at the club.

Why it matters for Everton Women

The midfielder has a key role to play as Everton look to kick on, currently sitting 8th in FA WSL with 23 points from 22 games, and 32 points behind leaders Manchester City W. Galli has scored key goals for the team and her experience will be vital in the upcoming matches.

What comes next?

After signing her new deal with Everton, Galli said “Everton as a club is passion, it is family. It’s a community that helps each other, fights for each other. The fans have always been there from day one until now, and with 25 goals scored and 37 conceded this season, the team will look to improve their performance. Further Everton squad news will be announced in due course, as they look to strengthen their squad and move up the league table.
