Paul Mitchell makes a signing at Newcastle United ... Sort of - Langley signs new deal
Newcastle United Women have announced that manager Becky Langley has signed a new deal at the club.
After back-to-back promotions and being the driving force behind Newcastle United Women's success after Amanda Staveley made the club a professional outfit, Becky Langley has been rewarded with a new long-term contract at the club.
The club announced the signing via X with a picture of new sporting director Paul Mitchell shaking hands with Langley. It's about time we saw him with a signing after failing to deliver for the men's team this summer.
Newcastle United Women are about to embark on a massive season in the Championship with the Women's Super League in their sights.
Becky Langley is 'delighted' to commit her future to Newcastle United
Their season starts on Sunday as they take on London City Lionesses at 2pm.
Speaking after signing her new deal, Langley told the official website that she is 'delighted' to have committed her future to the club.
"I am delighted to sign a new contract and to keep pursuing my goals at Newcastle United Football Club.
"After speaking with Paul Mitchell (Sporting Director, NUFC) and Su Cumming (Head of Women’s Football, NUFC) about the ambitions for the team and club, it just made my enthusiasm even greater for this exciting project.
"I will give everything to achieve our aims together and I am unapologetically ambitious for Newcastle United Women. Here's to an exciting future."
Can the lasses make it three promotions in three seasons?
Paul Mitchell added that he's been hugely impressed with Langley since he came to the club.
"Becky's new contract is fully deserved. I've been in constant contact with her since arriving at the club in the summer and I've been hugely impressed.
"It's clear to see Becky's talent and the potential she has in her coaching career. I'm looking forward to working together and supporting Becky, the players and staff as we build towards our ambitious objectives."
We wish the lasses all the luck in the world for their huge season ahead. Can they make it three promotions in as many seasons? Whay aye!
