Arsenal defender Lotte Wubben-Moy has signed a new three-year contract with the Women's Super League club.
The 26-year-old defender has made nine WSL appearances in an injury-disrupted season, and has not played since the beginning of February.
She is expected to be in contention for Sunday's Champions League semi-final second leg in Lyon, with the Gunners trailing 2-1 after the first leg.
"I feel a huge amount of pride, excitement and optimism to once again put pen to paper at this special football club," Wubben-Moy said.
"Arsenal is the club I want to win with and I feel this new contract comes at a time in my career where my ambitions are matched by my abilities on the pitch. I'm determined to make this next chapter count."
Wubben-Moy - a lifelong Arsenal fan - made her senior debut in 2015 at the age of 16 after coming through the club's academy.
She spent time in the United States with the North Carolina Tar Heels before returning to Arsenal in 2020, and has made 143 senior appearances for the Gunners.
She has won the FA Cup and League Cup across her two spells in North London, and was named Arsenal's player of the season in 2023-24.
Wubben-Moy has earned 13 senior England caps, having made her debut in 2021. She was part of the Lionesses' squad that won Euro 2022 and reached the final of the 2023 Women's World Cup.
Arsenal manager Renee Slegers said: "We're so happy that Lotte has signed a new contract. Lotte is a top defender who has shown significant progression in recent years, and will continue to play an important role as we pursue our shared goal of competing for the highest honours in the game."
The club's director of women's football Clare Wheatley said: "We're very proud of Lotte's journey from our academy to our first team, through to this new contract here with us.
"Lotte is a wonderful role model for all young players - an example of how hard work, strong values and determination are the platform for success.
"We know that she will continue to give all of herself to Arsenal Football Club, both on the pitch and of course in her consistent support of our wider community."
In July 2024 Wubben-Moy was honoured with the Charlton Award for her activism for equal access to football for girls.
