Brighton & Hove Albion captain Maisie Symonds has signed a new contract, described by the club as long-term. As the club's longest-serving player, with 103 appearances in all competitions, Symonds has been a massive influence both on and off the pitch.
What does this mean for Brighton & Hove Albion?
With Symonds committing her long-term future, the club is thrilled to have her as part of their vision to establish Brighton as one of the top four WSL clubs. Head coach Dario Vidosic praised Symonds, saying she has developed both as a player and as a person since becoming captain last season.
Why is this signing important?
Symonds has represented England up to under-21 level and received her first senior call-up in March 2025. She expressed her happiness with the new deal, feeling at home with the club and believing they are setting high standards for themselves.
What comes next for Brighton & Hove Albion?
As the new season approaches, with Brighton & Hove Albion currently 6th in the Premier League table with 50 points from 34 games, having scored 48 goals and conceded 39, the club is looking to build on their recent success, including reaching the Women's FA Cup final at Wembley for the first time in May. With plans to build Europe's first purpose-built women's football stadium, costing £75-80m, the future looks bright for the club.
