Having joined the Blues during the 2019/20 season, she agreed her first professional contract in November 2024, aged 17.

On signing her new deal, Brown said: ‘It feels amazing. I’m super proud. It’s a club I always wanted to sign a professional contract with, so to sign my second one is an amazing feeling.

‘Chelsea have developed me from a young age, and I can see how much I have developed here and how much I continue to develop.

‘Being around this environment and learning from the best helps you progress as a player. Now I want to win as many trophies as possible, and on a personal level I want to score my first professional goal as a Chelsea player.’

Brown was named Chelsea Women’s Academy Under-18 Player of the Year for the 2023/24 campaign. The teenager made her senior debut for the club the following season, coming on against Celtic in the Women’s Champions League group stage.

She earned further minutes in a win over Twente, and towards the end of that domestic Treble-winning campaign, made her WSL debut in a victory at Tottenham.

A loan move was next on the agenda for Brown as she moved across London to join Crystal Palace in WSL2. An injury hampered her progress in the first half of the campaign, but she returned to action in January and played a key role in the Eagles’ promotion back to the top flight.

Palace went into a key clash with Portsmouth knowing that a win would guarantee automatic promotion. With the scores level at half-time, Brown was brought on and provided three assists to help secure an eventual 6-1 victory. She was voted the Player of the Match for her efforts.

On the international stage, Brown has represented England at Under-16, Under-17, Under-19 and Under-20 levels, and has been called up to the Young Lionesses squad for September's U-20 Women's World Cup.

Congratulations, Lola!
