NewsGemma Bonner signs new Liverpool FC Women contract
Gemma Bonner has today signed a new contract with Liverpool FC Women.
The club's record appearance-maker in the Women's Super League era will now embark on her 10th season as a Red after agreeing fresh terms.
Having put pen to paper on the deal at the AXA Melwood Training Centre, Bonner told Liverpoolfc.com: "It was very easy.
"I think once I knew that the club wanted to extend, for me it was a no-brainer and I'm excited for what the future holds here.
"The club is obviously going through a bit of a transition process, but I think [a big factor is] knowing there's processes in place and the ambition is to get back and compete for trophies.
"I think already in the second half of last season there was progression and standards. I think that's something that Liverpool is known for in terms of the winning mentality and, being here, that is something I'm always striving to bring to the club."
The 34-year-old defender is currently enjoying her second spell as a Liverpool player, having rejoined in January 2023.
She captained the club to back-to-back WSL titles in 2013 and 2014 during her first stint, which lasted six years.
Bonner returned to help re-establish the team in the English top flight and, in November 2023, set a new club appearance record by surpassing Ashley Hodson's tally of 134.
As she prepares for the 2025-26 campaign, the centre-back's current total number of outings for the Reds stands at 177.
Bonner continued: "I've been welcomed back with open arms. I think the fans have been unbelievable.
"Obviously it's a different kind of stage in terms of where the team are but I think both experiences [have been positive]. I absolutely love playing for the club. And I think obviously the league is getting harder and harder every year."
