Durham Women are delighted to confirm that Michaela Foster has signed a new contract with the club.
The New Zealand international joined the Blues in September 2024 after a standout campaign in the Australian A-League with Wellington Phoenix – culminating in a call-up to the 2024 Olympics.
During her debut season at Maiden Castle, Foster made 23 appearances and scored twice as she found the net on the road at both Blackburn Rovers and Sheffield United.
And now Foster is relishing the chance to kick-on during her second season in blue.
“I’m really excited to be here and keep contributing to the club,” she said.
“It’s never easy being away from home, but the North East is quite similar to New Zealand in many ways. The people are great and so are my teammates – they’re a big reason why I wanted to stay and sign-on with Durham.
“What Durham has grown here with the fans is really important, especially for an independent women’s club. It really showed in the home games where they pushed us through.”
