England striker Aggie Beever‑Jones has agreed to stay at Chelsea for the coming season. Her contract, set to expire this summer, included a one‑year extension option, which she has now accepted. The 22‑year‑old rose through the club’s academy and has become a regular in the Women’s Super League, scoring consistently for both club and country in the past two seasons.

After helping England lift Euro 2025, injury woes left Beever‑Jones with limited starts last year, netting four goals in 11 appearances. The previous campaign saw her step in for the sidelined Sam Kerr, finding the net nine times in 22 outings as Chelsea secured a domestic treble. With Kerr’s exit, her role is set to grow for the upcoming season.

Chelsea’s pursuit of Manchester City top‑scorer Khadija Shaw collapsed, leaving a vacancy that Beever‑Jones is primed to fill. She capped the summer by starring in the Women’s World Sevens London series, scoring a late winner against Manchester United. Her commitment signals a shift toward a more prominent role in the 2026‑27 campaign, solidifying Chelsea’s attacking core for the next season.
