Everton captain Finnigan signs one-year extension

Everton captain Megan Finnigan has signed a one-year contract extension with the Women's Super League club.

The new deal means Finnigan, 28, will have spent 20 years at the club, including her time in the Toffees' academy.

The centre-back spent last season sidelined with an anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) injury, but said she is feeling "positive" and spending two decades with the club is "special".

"I am feeling very positive at the minute. I am glad to get this sorted, and recovery-wise I am in a good place," Finnigan said.

"I have been in over the off-season, working hard to get back. This will be my 20th year at the club and that's special for me. Hopefully it is even more special because it is the season that I make my return."

Finnigan has appeared more than 200 times for the Blues since her senior debut in 2015.
