Yahoo Sports Wales midfielder Fishlock signs new Seattle Reign deal
Wales midfielder Jess Fishlock has signed a new one-year contract with Seattle Reign.
Fishlock, 37, joined the National Women's Soccer League (NWSL) side before their inaugural season in 2013.
Wales' record goalscorer is now poised to represent Reign, who are based in the American state of Washington, during the 2025 campaign after agreeing a new deal.
"I’ve always believed in this club and the environment we have established here," said Fishlock.
"Whether it’s winning three Shields, breaking attendance records or making historic runs, I know how much we value greatness at the Reign.
"I'm looking forward to creating more memories with this club and our community as we continue to rise to new levels in 2025."
Fishlock's tally of 224 appearances is the second highest in Reign's history, while her total of 42 goals also ranks second in the club's history.
She is one of just five players in NWSL history to record more than 40 goals and more than 25 assists, joining Jess McDonald, Alex Morgan, Megan Rapinoe and Lynn Williams.
"Jess Fishlock is a legendary player for our club, instrumental in establishing Seattle Reign FC’s presence both in the US and worldwide," said Seattle Reign general manager Lesle Gallimore.
"With a career spanning over two decades, we’re incredibly fortunate that she has chosen Seattle as her home for most of that time.
"Her leadership, football intelligence and competitive spirit make her invaluable to our team, and we’re thrilled that she will be extending her career here in 2025."
Fishlock - who has 46 goals in 156 caps for her country - recently broke the club’s all-time assist record, passing Rapinoe's record of 26.
Having recently returned from injury to help Wales overcome Slovakia in the Euro 2025 play-off semi-final, Fishlock is now bidding to inspire victory against Republic of Ireland over two legs in the play-off final later this year.
