England U20 midfielder Katie Zelem has signed a new contract with Liverpool Ladies.
The 18-year-old helped the Reds win The FA WSL 1 title on the final day of last season, their second successive triumph, before being named the club’s Young Player of the Year.
She also featured for the Three Lions at the FIFA Women’s U20 World Cup in August, just 12 months after helping the U19s finish runners-up at the European Championship.
