London City Lionesses extend Asllani contract, Bristol City sign Apostolakis

London City Lionesses confirmed that captain Kosovare Asllani has signed a one‑year extension lasting until the summer of 2027, despite being sidelined with a complex multi‑ligament knee injury suffered in a WSL match. The 36‑year‑old, who helped the club achieve promotion to the Women's Super League, will miss most of the 2026‑27 season but remains a key figure for the side.

In a separate move, Australian defender Alexia Apostolakis agreed to her first overseas contract, joining Bristol City for the 2026‑27 Women’s Super League 2 campaign. After two successful seasons with Melbourne City, she brings international experience to the Robins as they aim to regain top‑flight status.

Both signings reflect the growing investment and talent flow within English women’s football.
