Experienced goalkeeper Becky Spencer will remain with Chelsea after making her loan move permanent.
The goalkeeper spent the last three months of the 2024/25 season with the Blues in a temporary switch from Tottenham Hotspur, and has now completed a permanent transfer by signing a one-year contract with Chelsea, with an option to extend until 2027.
Spencer, who had previously represented us between 2016 and 2018, returned to west London last season to provide further cover for Hannah Hampton, following an injury to Fenke Liefting and Zecira Musovic’s pregnancy.And the Blues have decided to make the switch permanent ahead of the 2025/26 campaign.
Spencer said: ‘I’m over the moon to be given the opportunity to stay at this magical club, it somewhere which has always felt like home for me.
‘We have amazing fans and I look forward to coming back into this environment on a permanent basis and working alongside the great goalkeeper’s union we have.’A Jamaican international, the 34-year-old was on the bench for all but two of our remaining 2024/25 Women’s Super League fixtures as we claimed the domestic Treble.
‘We are really pleased to welcome Becky to the goalkeeping union permanently,’ said Paul Green, Chelsea’s head of women’s football.
‘Her experience will provide cover and enable the younger goalkeepers to pursue valuable development opportunities.
‘‘She settled in well during her loan and is a great character to have in the group. We all look forward to working with her again next season.’
Welcome back, Becky!
