Matildas forward Caitlin Foord has signed a new deal with English club Arsenal, and is optimistic of a trophy-laden future with the Gunners.

Matildas forward Caitlin Foord is eyeing off silverware after signing a new deal with English Women's Super League club Arsenal.

The 27-year-old has been with the Gunners since 2020, scoring 23 goals in 62 appearances.

While Foord is yet to land a trophy in England, she was part of the Arsenal team which pushed Sam Kerr's Chelsea all the way in the recently completed WSL campaign.

Having found a home in north London, the ex-Sydney FC star says she's confident success is just around the corner.

"I think I mentioned in one of my early interviews that I had lost my way in football a bit, but since being here I've absolutely fallen in love and found myself again," Foord said.

"We've been inching towards winning lots of silverware and that's definitely going to be the plan for next year.

"We want to win multiple trophies and I think with the squad, the team, the players and the support we have, we have the squad to be able to do it."

Foord's re-signing comes after Dutch forward Vivianne Miedema also penned a new deal with the club last week.

Fellow Matilda Steph Catley also extended her deal with Arsenal earlier this month while the pair are also joined at the Gunners by compatriot Lydia Williams.
