McCabe signs new deal with the Gunners
TALLAGHT girl Katie McCabe signed a new deal with Arsenal football club following a superb season domestically and on the international front.
From Kilnamanagh, the Ireland skipper has made 193 appearances for the Gunners since joining the club from Shelbourne in December 2015, scoring 31 goals along the way.
McCabe has won one Barclays FA Women’s Super League title, one Women’s FA Cup and two FA Women’s Continental Tyres League Cups during her time at Arsenal.
“Arsenal is home for me and I’m excited to have committed my future to this football club,” said Katie.
“I’ve grown up here as a player and a person and developed a really special bond with our supporters, which means a lot to me,” Katie told the clubs website.
“Over the years, I’ve experienced some amazing moments here – but I believe that the best is yet to come and I know the aim here at Arsenal is to compete for the highest honours.”
Last season, Katie made 38 appearances in all competitions for Arsenal and played a key role when they won the Conti Cup, reached the semi-finals of the UEFA Women’s Champions League and secured a third-place finish in the WSL.
Katie wore the captain’s armband on several occasions during the latter part of the campaign.
In recognition of her stellar campaign, Katie was named our 2022/23 Player of the Season presented by Mastercard, won the WSL Goal of the Season trophy for her stunning strike against Manchester City at Meadow Park on 3 April 2023, and was named in the UEFA Women’s Champions League Team of the Season.
She has also been nominated for the 2023 Ballon d’Or.
At international level, Katie captained the Republic of Ireland in their first appearance at the FIFA Women’s World Cup in Australia and New Zealand over the summer, and scored the team’s first-ever goal in the competition with a stunning strike direct from a corner.
