Sam Tierney

“However, captain Sam Tierney, who is the longest-serving player at Leicester, gave supporters a major boost when she agreed a new deal until 2028 in July.”

“The 27-year-old has made 151 appearances for the Foxes and has been there through thick and thin - so why has she chosen to stay?”

“Tierney joined Leicester from Sheffield United in 2020 and has played under seven managers during her time at the club.”

“She was part of the team who earned promotion to the WSL in 2021 and reached the Women's FA Cup semi-finals in 2024.”
