Jana Fernandez Commits to London City Lionesses Until 2029

In a significant development for London City Lionesses, defender Jana Fernandez has put pen to paper, committing her future to the club until 2029. This decision underscores her importance to the team following an impressive inaugural season in the Women’s Super League.

Since her arrival from Barcelona last August, Fernández has established herself as a cornerstone of the Lionesses’ defense. Her contributions on the pitch played a pivotal role in helping the team secure a commendable sixth-place finish in their first season at the top level.

The 24-year-old Spaniard, who has quickly become a fan favorite, was recognized by supporters as the club’s player of the season, a testament to her consistent performances at right-back. Her presence has been a stabilizing force for Eder Maestre’s squad, and she is poised to continue as a key asset moving forward.

Expressing her enthusiasm about the new contract, Fernandez said, “Joining London City a year ago, I envisioned a promising future alongside this club. The energy, ambition, and progress here are palpable, and I am thrilled to extend my stay.” She added that the sense of community and the shared goals among players, staff, and fans make her feel at home.

Prior to her successful stint in England, Fernandez was a product of Barcelona’s esteemed academy. Her list of accolades includes five league titles, three Champions League wins, and three Copa de la Reina victories. She also represented Spain in the Euro 2025 final, where they came second to England.

This new chapter for Fernandez and the Lionesses promises a bright future as both continue to evolve in the competitive landscape of women’s football.
