Jen Beattie will continue her stay with Arsenal after signing a new contract extension. In addition to continuing as a player she will take on a new dual role mentoring role with the academy, working with the next generation of Arsenal talent. She will also contribute her expertise to the Gunners' commercial and partnerships teams.
Beattie is in her second stint at the club after spending four years with them between 2009 and 2013 in which she won two FA Cups, two League Cups and one Women's Premier League. She then left to join French side Montpellier before returning to England with Manchester City before rejoining Arsenal after a loan spell with Australian side Melbourne City.
The Scottish international has 134 appearances for the Gunners, having scored 30 goals along the way. The news of her extension signals the continuation of a series of important contract renewals after Vivianne Miedema and Caitlin Foord committed their futures to the north London side last month.
