Peskett, Ipswich’s first professional women’s player in 2021, scored 27 goals, while Jamaica international Thomas netted 21. Maria Boswell, Charlotte Fleming, Shauna Guyatt, Laura Hartley, Summer Hughes, Leah Mitchell, Natalia Negri, Lucy O’Brien, Kyra Robertson, Ruby Seaby, and Megan Wearing have all been awarded new contracts. However, Angela Addison, Maisy Barker, Issy Bryant, Grace Garrad, Ella Rutherford, and Evie Williams have all been released.
