The Australia international has committed to Chelsea until 2026, providing a significant boost to new head coach Sonia Bompastor, who has recently taken over from Emma Hayes.
Kerr described her contract extension as a ‘proud moment,’ emphasizing her eagerness to continue striving for success and adding more silverware to Chelsea’s collection. Paul Green, the general manager of Chelsea, praised Kerr as ‘one of the world’s best strikers’ and expressed the club’s delight at securing her services for the foreseeable future.
Over the past two years, Kerr has been a key player for Chelsea, scoring 99 goals in 128 appearances. Her impressive performances have contributed to Chelsea’s success, including five Women’s Super League titles and five domestic cup victories. In addition to her club accolades, Kerr has also received individual recognition for her outstanding performances. She became the first player to win the FWA Women’s Footballer of the Year award in consecutive seasons and has been a finalist for the Ballon d’Or Féminin in the past three years, finishing as a runner-up in 2023. With a record-breaking 69 goals for Australia at the international level, Kerr’s talent and goal-scoring prowess have earned her a reputation as one of the top players in women’s football.
Looking ahead, Chelsea fans can expect to see Kerr back in action next season, as she continues to make her mark on the pitch and aim for further success with the club.
