The 31-year-old forward has scored 57 Arsenal goals, won four major honours and remains one of the club’s key players.
Caitlin Foord has signed a new contract with Arsenal, believed to be to 2028, extending a stay that has already brought more than 200 appearances, 57 goals and four major honours.
The 31-year-old arrived from Sydney FC in 2020 and has since become one of Arsenal’s most important forwards, wearing the No 19 shirt and producing consistently across domestic and European competition.
Foord has played 203 times for the club and scored 57 goals, while collecting four trophies. Those include consecutive League Cup triumphs in 2022/23 and 2023/24, as well as a central role in the club’s 2024/25 Champions League campaign.
She was pivotal in that European run, recording seven goals and four assists in 15 matches as Arsenal claimed a second continental crown.
Her influence also carried into February 2026, when she scored the decisive goal in extra time against Corinthians, sealing a 3-2 win at the Emirates Stadium in the first FIFA Champions Cup.
Arsenal announced the new deal by saying: “We’re delighted to announce that Caitlin Foord has signed a new contract with the club.”
Born in New South Wales, she made her senior international debut at 16 in May 2011 and has since won 150 caps, scoring 41 goals.
She has been central to the Matildas’ modern success, helping them reach the 2023 home World Cup semi-finals and the 2026 Asian Cup final on Australian soil.
This week, Foord made her 150th appearance for Australia, scoring the only goal in their 1-0 win over Mexico.
