Brighton & Hove Albion attacker Julia Zigiotti Olme has signed a contract extension with the club ahead of the new season.
The Seagulls announced the news this afternoon via a post on their official club website.
Zigiotti joined Brighton & Hove Albion from Swedish club BK Häcken in the January 2022 transfer window alongside teammate Emma Kullberg. The forward has gone on to make 31 appearances for the Sussex club in the Barclays Women’s Super League while she has scored four goals.
The Swedish international is growing into life in England with Brighton & Hove Albion but there is a feeling that the best is yet to come.
After retaining the player’s services, Brighton & Hove Albion head coach Melissa Phillips said “We’re excited that Julia has extended her contract with us at Brighton.
“She is such a dynamic player who I am certain we will get the best out of in the year ahead as I don’t feel we’ve seen her full potential yet.
“She also ended the year well after being voted Players’ Player of the Season, she’ll be keen to carry that positive momentum this pre-season.”
Zigiotti’s new deal comes off the back of young midfielder Maisie Symonds also extending her contract with Brighton & Hove Albion.
