Spurs opt to extend contracts of first team quartet | OneFootball

Tottenham Hotspur have opted to extend the contracts of first team quartet Ashleigh Neville, Olga Ahtinen, Kit Graham and Josefine Rybrink by a further year.

WSL Full-Time were informed of the news via an official club press release from The Lilywhites this afternoon.

Full-back Neville is Spurs’ longest-serving player having joined the club from former second tier side Coventry United in summer 2017. The 32-year-old has been a consistent performer for the North Londoners, clocking up more than 150 appearances for the club in all competitions.

Finnish international Ahtinen has spent the last two seasons with Spurs. The player has made 28 appearances to date in the Barclays Women’s Super League for The Lilywhites, scoring two goals.

Attacker Graham joined Spurs from fellow London side Charlton Athletic in summer 2019. The player’s Spurs career has been a rollercoaster. Graham is closing in on a 100th appearance for the club, a milestone that she would have already hit if not for long-term injuries.

Swedish international defender Rybrink joined Spurs earlier this year and she has made six appearances for the club so far.

In other news, Spurs youngsters Persis Oteng, Emily McMaster, Liamara Hensel-Burg, Maia Lazaro, Eloise Hall and Elkie Bowyer will move on after spending time in the academy. Those players will not be moving into senior football with the North Londoners.
