Sheffield Utd Women retain Rhema Lord-Mears on two-year deal
Sheffield United Women’s midfielder Rhema Lord-Mears has signed a new two-year deal through to the end of the 2022/23 season.
Lord-Mears had been a constant presence in the United team this past season, playing a part in 19 of the side’s 20 league games.
The 25-year-old scored a hat-trick in the Vitality FA Women’s Cup tie against Middlesbrough and has played a key role linking midfield and attack throughout the campaign.
Formerly of Sheffield FC, Anderlecht and Blackburn Rovers, Lord-Mears joined United from the latter halfway through the 2019/20 campaign, only to see her first season with the club curtailed when the FA Women’s Championship was postponed due to the COVID-19 pandemic.

Sheffield United Women’s midfielder Maddy Cusack has signed a new deal at the club and will remain a Blade for the 2021/22 season.
Cusack is embarking on her fourth season at the club and recently celebrated making her 50th appearance as a Blade.
A constant presence during her two-and-a-half years at the club, she ended the latest campaign as the team’s joint most creative player with six assists alongside January addition Bex Rayner.
A tireless work ethic in her box-to-box midfield role, Cusack has become a pivotal member of Neil Redfearn’s starting eleven and the Blades head coach is delighted another member of his squad has committed their future to the club.

Peterborough United Women have today become part of the London Road club, having previously played under the PUFC Foundation.
Club co-owner Jason Neale told theposh.com: “When we arrived as co-owners, we found that the football club obviously had the first team and an Academy, but a Women’s side that were kind of connected, but not under the umbrella of the club, so myself and Stewart and Darragh [MacAnthony] are of the opinion that it should be a ‘one club’ strategy from the under 8s all the way through to the first team, so it was important to us to bring them into the fold.
