Veteran Star Fara Williams Signs New Contract With Reading After Excellent WSL Season

Reading midfielder Fara Williams has extended her contract with the club to stay until at least the end of next season after another fine year with the Women's Super League side.

Now 35 years of age, Williams is one of only six WSL players to have managed double figures in front of goal this season, with her 10 strikes powering Reading to a guaranteed fifth place finish.

"As long as I'm not slipping off and letting the team or myself down I will continue to go and I'm honoured to sign another contract and very grateful that Kelly [Chambers] has given me an opportunity to keep playing," she told Reading's official website.
