Poppy Pattinson has signed a new contract with London City Lionesses, keeping her at the club until summer 2029. The 26‑year‑old defender, who has already earned an England cap, said the deal lets her stay in an environment where she can continue to develop. The extension underscores the club's commitment to retaining top talent.

Pattinson debuted for England in March 2026, featuring in the squad for the 2027 Women's World Cup qualifiers against Ukraine and Iceland. An injury earlier that season disrupted her momentum, but she returned strong enough to earn an international call‑up. The experience highlighted her resilience and the club's role in her development.

Before joining Lionesses, Pattinson logged spells with Manchester City, Everton and Brighton, gaining a breadth of WSL experience. She said, "I'm really pleased to sign a new contract at this club. As a player you want to feel you are at a club where you can still learn and grow."

The new contract signals the Lionesses' ambition to build a core of domestic talent capable of challenging the league's upper echelons. Pattinson’s continued presence adds defensive solidity and a national‑team pedigree to a squad already brimming with potential. For fans, the deal confirms that the club is serious about competing at the highest level.
