Yeovil Town Ladies midfielder Helen Bleazard has extended her contract with the Women's Super League One club ahead of the 2017 WSL 1 Spring Series.

The 26-year-old Wales international has been with the Lady Glovers since returning in 2014.

The former Bristol Academy and Chelsea player also represented Bristol Rovers after starting her career with Yeovil.
