Sheffield United has confirmed that defender Jess Reavill has signed a new contract that will keep her at the club until the summer of 2028. The announcement was made via the club's official website, highlighting the commitment of the 20-year-old centre-back to the Blades.
Reavill, who began her career with Sheffield United, has previously played for both Leicester City and Stoke City before returning to Bramall Lane last summer. During her first season back, she made a total of 18 appearances in the Barclays Women's Championship, contributing one goal in a match against Southampton, which ended in a 5-2 defeat.
Expressing her enthusiasm about the new deal, Reavill stated, "I’m very happy, very excited. I feel like I had a good season last time out, to try and prove myself in this league, and now I just want to extend that and to keep going, and I feel like here is where I can do that." Her determination to improve and make an impact in the league is evident, as she mentioned feeling that there is "unfinished business" at Sheffield United.
With this contract extension, Reavill aims to solidify her position within the team and continue her development as a player. She believes that staying with the Blades will provide her the opportunity to prove herself further, both to her teammates and to the fans.
As the new season approaches, Sheffield United is set to kick off their Barclays Women's Championship campaign with a home match against Leicester City on Sunday afternoon. Reavill's presence on the field will be crucial as the team looks to improve upon their previous season's performance.
Reavill's commitment to Sheffield United reflects the club's ambition to build a strong squad capable of competing at a higher level. With her youth and experience, she is expected to play a key role in the team's strategy moving forward.
