Ji has played a pivotal part in our trophy successes since joining the Blues in 2014, lifting the FA WSL and FA Women’s Cup Double in in 2014/15 and 2017/18.

The 28-year-old has so far made 136 Chelsea appearances, scoring an impressive 56 goals, including the decisive strike in the first Women’s FA Cup final to be held at Wembley Stadium, back in 2015.

Last season, the midfielder made 30 appearances in all competitions, netting nine times. One of those goals was her unforgettable curled free-kick against Lyon in the second leg of the Champions League semi-final clash, to level the scoring in front of a record crowd of 4,670 at Kingsmeadow.

After putting pen to paper on a new three-year deal, Ji said: ‘It means so much to me to be able to extend my contract with Chelsea. I am always grateful for the opportunities and I am excited to stay with the club.’

Last year, the Blues finished third in the WSL and exited the FA Women’s Cup and Champions League at the semi-final stage. However, Ji has ambitions of picking up more silverware with Chelsea Women this time around.
