The 28-year-old joined Chelsea from BK Hacken in August 2022 and has enjoyed a hugely successful three years as a Blue. Chelsea have won the Women’s Super League every season during Rytting Kaneryd’s time with us, as well as two FA Cups and a League Cup.

The Sweden international surpassed 100 appearances for the Blues in March and is relishing the prospect of adding to that tally over the next two years.

Rytting Kaneryd said: ‘It feels amazing to have signed a new contract with Chelsea. I am delighted to extend my time here because I really do love this place. Since the first day I stepped into this club, it has felt like home.

'It is my first time living away from Sweden and this really does feel like home. I love going to work every day and I couldn’t have asked for a better place to be. I am someone who is always striving to improve and I know there is much more to come from me in the future.’

Rytting Kaneryd played in 21 of our 22 WSL games this season, scoring five league goals as we secured an unbeaten domestic campaign. That form has also translated onto the international stage and in December she received the Diamond Ball, given to Sweden’s best female footballer during the previous year.

Paul Green, Chelsea’s head of women’s football, said: ‘Johanna has played an important part in our success since joining the club ahead of the 2022/23 campaign. She has been among our highest appearance makers in the previous two seasons. We are looking forward to seeing Johanna continue to progress with us in the forthcoming years.'

Everyone at Chelsea would like to congratulate Johanna on her new deal and we look forward to watching her continue to excel in blue during the years to come.
