Beever-Jones ready to ‘conquer’ new season after injury troubles last term
Chelsea and England forward Aggie Beever-Jones says she is determined to “conquer” the new season after successive ankle injuries made 2025-26 the most difficult period of her career. Despite interest from other Women’s Super League clubs and her Chelsea contract nearing its end, the 23-year-old has signed a new four-year deal and wants to help the club recover after losing its six-year league title hold.
Beever-Jones said the injuries affected her mentally as well as physically, leaving her feeling isolated and struggling to regain consistency; she completed a full match only once after Christmas. Chelsea won one trophy last season, below their usual standards, after an unbeaten domestic treble the previous year; Beever-Jones has seven goals in 16 England appearances and hopes strong club form will strengthen her case for next year’s Women’s World Cup.
- Beever-Jones has renewed with Chelsea after an injury-hit season.
- Ankle problems disrupted her form and affected her mental wellbeing.
- She aims to regain a starting role and reach the World Cup.
New here? Start with this
Aggie Beever-Jones is a forward for Chelsea and England who plays in the Women's Super League, the top level of English women's football. The 23-year-old has become an important figure for both club and country.
Chelsea had dominated English women's football, winning the league title for six consecutive years, but their dominance ended in the 2025-26 season. The club's decline was partly due to the absence of key players, including Beever-Jones, who suffered successive ankle injuries that kept her out for significant periods.
These injuries affected Beever-Jones both physically and mentally, and she managed only one full match after Christmas. For Chelsea to recover their previous standing and for Beever-Jones to strengthen her case for the England squad, her return to full fitness and consistent form will be important.
Both sides, in good faith
The strongest fair case each way — we don't pick a winner.
The case for
Beever-Jones’s new four-year deal can be seen as a vote of confidence in Chelsea and a chance to rebuild after a difficult injury-hit season. Staying may offer continuity, support and a clear route to regaining form, while her commitment could help a team seeking to recover its domestic standing.
The case against
With interest from other WSL clubs and a contract nearing its end, leaving could have offered Beever-Jones a fresh environment and a different route back to regular football after injuries disrupted her consistency. A move might also have better matched her ambitions for playing time and a place in England’s World Cup squad, depending on the opportunities available elsewhere.
