Tickets are half-price for our Mother's Day final home WSL fixture of the 2018/19 season, which is also doubling up as a special occasion for our longest-serving player.

Having joined the club from neighbours Fulham in 2008, Spence made her debut in January of the following year when she came off the bench to score in an FA Cup win over Rotherham.

Since then she has remained part of the squad, going on to make 170 appearances and netting 38 times. The bulk of those have come under the tutelage of Hayes, who took the reins midway through 2012 and has since led the club to five major trophies, with Spence playing a pivotal role in our success.

'It's a marvellous achievement by Drew – 10 years at the top level, at one club, shows her dedication and desire,' said the manager. 'Her commitment to achieve for Chelsea has been relentless since I've been here.

'I've seen her grow as a player and a person into someone I believe should be a part of the England squad. She's got all the qualities I think you need for the top level and I'm disappointed she hasn't been given more opportunities.
