Promoted Ipswich offer new deals to 13 players

Ipswich won 17 of their 22 games and lost only two during their title-winning campaign

Top scorers Sophie Peskett and Natasha Thomas head a list of 13 players offered new contracts by Ipswich Town following promotion to the second tier of women's football.

Ipswich will play in the Championship next season after winning the Women's National League Southern Premier title, finishing six points clear of chief rivals Hashtag United.

Peskett, who became Ipswich's first professional women's player, in 2021, scored 27 goals, while Jamaica international Thomas was on target 21 times.

Maria Boswell, Charlotte Fleming, Shauna Guyatt, Laura Hartley, Summer Hughes, Leah Mitchell, Natalia Negri, Lucy O'Brien, Kyra Robertson, Ruby Seaby and Megan Wearing have also been offered new deals.

But Angela Addison, Maisy Barker, Issy Bryant, Grace Garrad, Ella Rutherford and Evie Williams have all been released.

Barker, who scored four goals in 28 appearances last season, was the longest-serving of the six let go, having joined Town from West Ham in 2023.
