Head coach Dean Gibson added: “Kirsty is a player with huge potential and one we are delighted to see staying at the club. I feel she is a player that goes under the radar quite often but to the coaches and players, she is hugely respected and appreciated within the squad.

“Every year I’ve worked with Kirsty – from U23s right through – we have seen vast improvements both in her ability as a player but also her confidence off the pitch. She is an extremely quiet character but every year we are getting more from her.

“Next season for Kirsty it’s improving her numbers, it’s about adding more goals and becoming a real threat to the opposition”
