Aston Villa goalkeeper Anna Leat has signed a new one-year contract with the club with the option of a further year.

WSL Full-Time were informed of the news via an official club press release from The Villans this afternoon.

Leat has spent the last two seasons with Aston Villa after joining the club on a free transfer in summer 2022. She has provided some strong competition for the first-choice goalkeeper jersey. Leat has made 22 appearances for Aston Villa in all competitions, often stepping into the team to deputise when Hannah Hampton and Daphne van Domselaar were unable for selection. Leat is set to have new goalkeeping competition at Aston Villa this season and she will be determined to continue her fight for minutes.

After retaining Leat’s services for at least another year, Aston Villa’s Head of Women’s Football, Lee Billiard said “Anna has progressed significantly since joining the club two years ago.

“Despite her age, she is a key player in our goalkeeping unit and has gained invaluable experience with us in the last couple of seasons. We look forward to supporting that growth even further during the 2024/2025 campaign.”

Leat is the fourth Aston Villa player to sign a new contract with the club this summer.
