The Lady Black Cats confirmed the news with a post on their official club website earlier today. The full-back has signed a contract extension that will keep him on Wearside for the next two seasons, until summer 2026. Griffiths joined Sunderland in 2017, and she has made 124 appearances for the team across all competitions. The player was a consistent performer for Sunderland in the Barclays Women’s Championship this season. She made 19 league appearances for The Lady Black Cats, who were prominently involved in the promotion race.
Melanie Reay’s side will be looking to make another promotion push in 2024/2025, and Griffiths remains an important element of her squad. After earning her first professional contract with Sunderland, Griffiths stated, “I’m very pleased; I’m over the moon to get my first full-time contract playing for the Club.” Going through the academy setup to where I am now at 25 is something I am pleased of.” Sunderland have now reached fresh agreements with numerous players. In addition to Griffiths, Natasha Fenton, Jessica Brown, Megan Borthwick, Megan Beer, and Emily Scarr have signed new contracts on Wearside.
