Spurs defender Bartrip signs new long-term deal | OneFootball

Tottenham Hotspur defender Molly Bartrip has signed a new long-term contract with the club until summer 2028.

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

The 29-year-old centre-back spent some of her youth with Spurs before turning out for their London rivals Charlton Athletic and Arsenal. Bartrip started her senior playing career with former top tier side Reading in 2014 and she spent seven successful years with The Royals.

In summer 2021, Bartrip returned home to Spurs and she has been a regular in the side during her time back in North London. The defender was an ever-present for The Lilywhites in the Barclays Women’s Super League this season.

In 2023/2024, Bartrip picked up an Adobe Women’s FA Cup final runners-up medal with Spurs contesting the showpiece for the very first time in their history. It was the first time that the player collected a medal since winning the old FAWSL2 with Reading in 2015.

Bartrip is a hugely important player for Spurs and the club have therefore opted to retain her services for three more years. She will be hoping to help the club climb the Barclays Women’s Super League table under new management next season.
