Kelly Smith has signed a new contract at Arsenal Ladies
Kelly Smith has signed a new contract with Arsenal to continue in her role as player-coach.
England Women’s all-time leading goalscorer was named as Shelley Kerr’s assistant in August last year.
Smith said: "I'm delighted to have agreed a new contract with Arsenal.
"Coaching has provided a fresh and exciting challenge for me, and I'm really enjoying combining my new role with my responsibilities on the pitch."
Gunners General Manager Vic Akers said: "Kelly has been an exceptional player for us over the years and has now become an exceptional coach too.
"Her experience, her passion and her knowledge of the game are all having a really positive impact on the rest of the squad, and helping with the development of the younger girls in particular."
