Missy Goodwin Extends LCFC Women Stay

- Missy Goodwin signs contract extension with LCFC Women
- Young forward made seven appearances for the Foxes last season
- The 19-year-old joined the Club in January 2022

The 19-year-old - who made seven appearances in all competitions for the Foxes last term - joined the Club in January 2022 after the Foxes acquired her registration.

Speaking to LCFC TV, Goodwin said: “I am very happy to have signed a new contract here and I can't wait to get going again. Last season was tough, but we retained our WSL status, and we can only improve from here. We want to climb the table as much as possible this year.

"As a team, we want to show everyone that we are really kicking on - we don't want to be in the same position as last season. For me, minutes are really important for a young player, but you have to earn them. Hopefully I can impress on the training pitch and do that.”

Having progressed through the youth ranks at Birmingham City and Aston Villa, the forward made her senior debut for Villa in November 2021, against Sheffield United in the FA Continental Tyres League Cup before making the move to Leicestershire.

An England youth international, Goodwin has been a regular for her nation in various age categories, and currently represents the Lionesses Under-19s. Most recently, Goodwin competed in the UEFA Women’s Under-19 European Championship qualifying rounds.

Goodwin is now among the squad as they prepare to get their pre-season preparations underway ahead of a visit to Everton on the opening weekend of the 2022/23 season.
