In a week defined by major transitions at Finch Farm, Everton Women have secured a vital piece of their long-term puzzle. The club officially announced today, that first-choice goalkeeper and Republic of Ireland star Courtney Brosnan has signed a new two-year contract extension.
The deal will keep the 30-year-old on Merseyside until June 2028, ending any speculation about her future as her previous agreement approached its final months.
A Stat-Topping Season
Brosnan’s extension comes off the back of a sensational individual campaign. Despite the team's turbulent results earlier in the season, Brosnan has remained a pillar of consistency:
League Leader: She recorded the most saves in the Women’s Super League during the 2024/25 season.
Top-Tier Performance: Currently ranks among the league's elite with a 76.9% save percentage and an average of 4.4 saves per 90 minutes.Experience: Having surpassed 86 appearances for the Toffees since joining from West Ham in 2021, she is now one of the most senior figures in the dressing room.
Boosting the "Phelan Era"
The timing of the announcement is no coincidence. Following the recent departure of Brian Sørensen, interim head coach Scott Phelan is preparing for his first home game in charge at Goodison Park this Sunday.
Securing the future of a key leader like Brosnan is seen as a major morale boost for a squad looking to distance themselves from the relegation scrap.
"Everton feels like home. I'm really proud of the journey we've been on together, and I'm excited to continue it. We have a young squad with unbelievable talent, and I want to be there to guide them." — Courtney Brosnan
A Sunday Special at Goodison
Brosnan’s first match since putting pen to paper will be a poetic one: Everton face her former club, West Ham United, this Sunday. With the Toffees fresh off back-to-back wins, the Irish international is targeting a "hat-trick" of victories to celebrate her new deal.
Brosnan also noted that playing at Goodison Park remains a source of immense pride, citing the "family feel" of the club and the inspiration she draws from training alongside men's #1 Jordan Pickford at the club's Finch Farm facility.
