Four Chelsea Ladies stars sign new contracts

Hedvig Lindahl, Niamh Fahey and Ana Borges have joined England midfielder Katie Chapman in signing new contracts with Chelsea Ladies.

The quartet have all agreed two-year deals with this season’s FA Cup winners.

Captain Chapman, 33, starred in the England side which finished third at the World Cup in Canada this summer.

Sweden international goalkeeper Lindahl, 32, joined at the start of the season and has played a key role in helping the Blues climb to the top of the Women’s Super League table with two games remaining.

Republic of Ireland international centre-half Fahey, 27, and Portugal international full-back Borges, 25, also signed before the current campaign.
