Everton Women’s Defender Sara Holmgaard Signs New Deal

Everton Women’s defender Sara Holmgaard has signed a new deal with the club, extending her stay at Walton Hall Park. The Danish defender joined the Blues in August 2022, alongside her twin sister Karen, and has since become an integral part of the team.

Holmgaard’s first full campaign on Merseyside was impressive, despite spells on the sidelines due to injury. She featured in 12 league games, scoring twice and registering three assists, including two for her sister Karen in away matches at West Ham United and Brighton & Hove Albion.

The defender’s decision to stay at Everton was an easy one, citing her happiness and enjoyment of her football as key factors. “I’ve been really happy over these past two years as an Everton player, so it was an easy decision to stay,” Holmgaard said. “I’m really enjoying my football. I have new-found motivation after a really tough year with injuries.”

Holmgaard also praised the impact of new signings on the squad, saying: “We have brought in some really good players and have a strong squad. We have a really good group here and I’m looking forward to seeing what the new season brings.”

At international level, Holmgaard has become a first-team regular for Denmark, scoring her maiden goal in the recent win over Belgium that secured European Championship qualification. She hopes to continue showcasing her belief in her club game to take Everton higher up the Women’s Super League table.

Everton boss Brian Sorensen expressed his delight at extending Holmgaard’s stay, saying: “It’s great to extend Sara’s time at the club. I feel we haven’t seen the best of her yet due to injuries and how she joined halfway through the season before last.”

Sorensen praised Holmgaard’s offensive game, saying: “She can score goals, she can drive the team forward. Sara is a hard worker, a good character, I’m really pleased she’s staying.”

In conclusion, Sara Holmgaard’s new deal is a significant boost to Everton Women’s squad, as they look to build on their progress in the Women’s Super League. Holmgaard’s experience and skill will be crucial in helping the team achieve their goals, and her commitment to the club is a testament to the positive environment and team spirit at Everton.
