Japanese international forward Kiko Seike has signed a new contract with Brighton Women.
Women’s and girls’ managing director Zoe Johnson said: “We’re really happy that Kiko has decided to commit her future to Brighton.
“She’s been a key player since joining us in July 2024. She’s consistently shown her qualities both on and off the pitch and we’re excited for what Kiko’s future holds at the club.”
The 29-year-old made a memorable debut in a 4–0 victory over Everton in September 2024 when she became the first player in WSL history to score a hat-trick on their first league appearance.
Three contrasting finishes that day – a composed lob, a diving header, and a powerful strike from outside the box – showcased her talent.
She has made 37 appearances in all competitions and scored 11 goals, and she played a key role in helping Albion secure their highest ever WSL finish of fifth last season.
