Maddy Cusack agrees new deal with Sheffield United Women

Midfielder Cusack notched up her 50th appearance for the club last season, having joined in the 2018/19 campaign and also works for United’s Community Foundation.

"I'm really happy to be signing again for Sheffield United ” she said. “It's my fourth season now and I've really enjoyed my time here, I'm excited and I'm really looking forward to next season.

"I work for the club with the Community Foundation, I really like Sheffield as a whole and it made sense to commit my future here as I've really enjoyed my time here."

Manager Neil Redfearn was equally delighted to have Maddy on-baord for another campaign as the former Barnsley player looks to build a promotion challeneg for next season.

He said: "Maddy's consistency is unbelievable, the amount of quality she gives week in, week out. She's a great trainer, a real asset of the club and she's someone who wants to get better and wants to drive on.

"For me, she's improved maybe 20 or 30%, her game understanding is far better now. She's a strong character, she's been outstanding and she drives the team forward."

Earlier this week it was announced that another midfielder Sophie Walton would also remain at United next season, while 18-year-old Academy graduate Charley Docherty has signed her first professional contract, having spent some time last season training with the first and featuring in matchday squads.
