Brighton Women’s Maisie Symonds Has Signed a New Contract

Brighton Women’s Maisie Symonds – their skipper and longest-serving player – has signed a new contract.

She joined the club in 2021 and has now committed her future to the Seagulls by signing a new long-term contract.

Symonds has so far played over 100 times for the club and led the team out in the Adobe Women’s FA Cup Final last season.

Representing England up to the Under-21s, she was called into the senior squad for the first time in March 2025 for two matches against Belgium.

Head coach Dario Vidosic said: “Maisie has been an integral part of Albion’s story in the WSL since she joined the club in 2021.

“She is a massive influence both on and off the pitch and since becoming captain last season she has developed both as a player and as a person.

“We are thrilled that she is committing her long-term future and will be part of our vision to establish Brighton as one of the top four WSL clubs.”

Symonds said: “I’m very happy. I feel so at home here. It’s the only club I’ve ever played for professionally and I feel I’ve grown so much over the last six years along with the club and the women’s team.

“It really felt like we are setting high standards for ourselves with what we’ve been building in the last two years. We are starting to reach our potential, and we only want to get better and better.”
