World-class performer

Since arriving in west London, Hampton has lifted five major trophies, including an unbeaten domestic treble in 2024-25 along with back-to-back WSL Golden Glove awards. Her outstanding displays also earned her the prestigious Yashin Trophy at the Ballon d'Or ceremony last year after England’s Euro 2025 triumph.

Even after facing heavy media attention following the release of Mary Earps' autobiography, Hampton’s performances on the pitch have remained at the same high level. She now joins fellow England team-mates Lucy Bronze and Aggie Beever-Jones in signing new deals as well.

Restoring Chelsea to the top

Hampton’s contract extension helps calm increasing concern among the fanbase after several high-profile exits this summer. Important figures Sam Kerr, Guro Reiten and former club captain Millie Bright all left Kingsmeadow when their contracts expired.

With her future now settled, the Yashin Trophy winner will now turn her attention to matching the brilliant form she showed during Euro 2025. Hampton will look to lead Chelsea’s new-look squad as they aim to regain domestic supremacy in the coming season.
