SAINTS have announced that Chloe Peplow has signed a new two-year contract to remain with the club until 2027.

Peplow initially joined Saints on loan for the second half of the 2022/23 campaign, before signing permanently in July 2023.

The midfielder has made 37 appearances in that time, and scored her first goal for the club last season on the road against Birmingham City.

Ahead of her third full season at Saints, Peplow said: "I do feel settled here, it feels like a home away from home. It's a great city and a great fanbase.

"I'm excited to get going. I think the club does have ambition, I think facilities-wise we have got a good backing here in a sense of there's good foundations.

"Personally, I think I'm in the best position I have been for a while, obviously the first season I joined I had some injuries but last year I put those behind me.

"I have managed to get a consistent run of games and performances - for me it's onwards and upwards in that sense."
