Beth Lumsden Extends Contract with Newcastle United
Newcastle United has announced that forward Beth Lumsden has signed a new contract with the club, as confirmed in an official press release from The Magpies this afternoon.
The 27-year-old striker joined Newcastle United from Portsmouth, a former Barclays WSL2 team, during the January 2024 transfer window. Since then, she has scored 21 goals in 67 appearances across all competitions. This season, Lumsden has contributed two goals, aiding Newcastle United’s position at the top of the Barclays WSL2 table.
As Newcastle pushes for promotion to the Barclays Women’s Super League, Lumsden’s role becomes increasingly vital, prompting the club to secure her services for the foreseeable future.
Expressing her commitment to the team after signing the new deal, Lumsden said, “It’s a special club to be at, so I’m really happy to be staying. It’s important for me to feel settled off the pitch, and I certainly feel settled on it now.”
She noted the camaraderie within the team, adding, “We’ve got a good group of the girls, and the coaching staff are wicked. The ambitions align with mine, the club are backing us and it’s an exciting time to be here.”
Newcastle United and Lumsden will take to the field next on Sunday for a Tyne-Wear derby against local rivals Sunderland.
