England Lionesses star among first to react as Alisha Lehmann, who has 15million Instagram fans, signs new WSL deal
ALISHA LEHMANN lifted the spirits of England’s World Cup hero Rachel Daly after she penned a new deal with Aston Villa.
Lehmann, 24, who joined the club in 2021, has scored 10 goals in 54 appearances for the Women’s Super League side.
Now she has signed a contract extension to keep her at the club until 2026 – with the option of an additional year.
She announced the news along with the caption: “Couldn’t be happier to stay! UP THE VILLA.”
Among the replies was a message from England‘s Daly, 31, who started the Lionesses 1-0 defeat to Spain in the World Cup final on Sunday.
Aston Villa ace Daly simply responded: “I’m happier.”
And Villa manager Carly Ward was over the moon at Lehmann’s extension.
She said: “Alisha has been a big part of our journey since I arrived and has played a huge part in our progression as a football club.
“She is a very important piece to the puzzle and is someone I thoroughly enjoy working with.
“We’re delighted she’s committed her long-term future with us.”
