London City Lionesses defender Jana Fernandez has penned a new contract extension that will keep her at the club until 2029. The 24-year-old defender, who arrived at the newly-formed WSL side from Barcelona, has become integral to the team’s success in their inaugural campaign.
Recognition of Key Performer
Fernandez’s importance to London City’s project was underscored when she was voted the club’s player of the season. Her performances have made an immediate impact since joining the Lionesses, establishing herself as a cornerstone of the defensive unit as the club competes in England’s top-flight women’s football division.
Building on Strong Foundation
The contract extension comes as London City Lionesses finished their debut WSL season in sixth place, a respectable achievement for a new entrant to the league. The club’s decision to secure Fernandez on a long-term deal reflects their ambition to continue building on this foundation and push for further progress.
Speaking on her commitment, Fernandez expressed her enthusiasm about the future at the club. “I’m absolutely delighted to sign a new contract here at London City,” the defender said, signaling her confidence in the direction the club is heading under the guidance of coach Eder Maestre and the wider organization.
