Liverpool Women’s captain Grace Fisk signed a contract extension to keep her at the club for an unpublished amount of time (usually a couple of years, in women’s football) the club announced last week.
I have amends to make. This news fell through the cracks for me and I’ve been thinking about it all week, ever since.
Fisk joined the Red Women in 2023 and was appointed captain last season by Gareth Taylor after the retirement of Niamh Fahey. She has been consistent and well utilized, able to play both
center back and right back, and has made 83 appearances across all competitions so far and scored five goals.
“Every day I feel really lucky to be here in the place that we get to call work. Melwood is an amazing place filled with really special people,” Fisk told the club website.
“And the city as a whole, I feel really at home here. So, when it was sort of talks began and it was weighing things up, for me there was only really one thing I wanted and this was to stay at Liverpool.
“I really believe it’s a club going in the right direction. We’ve got great people, great staff, great facilities and great aspirations as well. So, yeah, I’m really excited to stay and I hope we can just kick on a lot in the next few years.”
The captain was also named Players’ Player of the Year at the end of her first campaign with the Reds, and received the Club Person of the Year award at the end of last season. She was also recently named and debuted with the England Women’s National Team and is now considered a senior Lioness. At only 28 we can be thankful she’s chosen to spend more time in red.
“I’m always someone who’s looking to improve. Every time we play a game, I watch it straight back and can see several things I could do significantly better,” the captain explained.
“So, I never think I am at the point where I’ve made it or I’m a complete perfect player.
“The coaches are really good at elevating me and giving me confidence but also showing me what I can work on. I think that’s a really good balance.”
