There were 11 on the pitch when the last match finished a few weeks ago, so it stands to reason there are at least two left
LCFC Women is delighted to confirm that nine of its first team stars have put pen-to-paper on new contracts ahead of the new 2021/22 Barclays FA Women’s Super League campaign.

LCFC Women are pleased to confirm the signing of striker Jess Sigsworth after three seasons with Manchester United Women.
The 26-year-old featured 66 times in all competitions for the Manchester side, scoring 26 goals, and now joins the Foxes ahead of their first-ever season in the Barclays FA Women’s Super League.
Speaking to LCFC.com, she said: “I'm absolutely delighted. It’s a club with a massive ambition, they did extremely well in the Championship and I'm really excited and looking forward to being a part of this journey now.
“I spoke with the manager quite a bit before coming and the ambitions, the drive, the way this club wants to be, it's everything that I want to be a part of.”
Sigsworth started her youth career playing for Branton Boys and Doncaster Rovers Belles Juniors, before moving to Sheffield United Girls’ Centre of Excellence, where she broke into the England Under-17 squad.
She returned to Doncaster Rovers Belles in 2011 and made her senior debut in July against Birmingham City Women. She went on to score seven goals in 41 appearances over a four-year period, before a brief spell at FA WSL side Notts County Ladies.
In 2015, Sigsworth resigned for Doncaster Rovers Belles and in 2017/18, she helped them to the WSL 2 title, winning the golden boot after racking up 15 goals.
She made the move to Manchester United Women in 2018 and went on to make 66 appearances for them in all competitions, netting 26 goals.
On the international stage, Sigsworth has represented England at Under-17, Under-19, Under-20 and Under-23s level.

LCFC Women are pleased to confirm the signing of defender Georgia Brougham, who joins the Club after five and a half seasons with Everton.
A product of Manchester City’s academy, Brougham made her first team debut for the Citizens in September 2014 before signing professional terms in January 2015.
She later joined Everton in January 2016, netting her first goal against Aston Villa, and has since had two spells on loan at Birmingham City.
After completing her move to the Club, she told LCFC TV: “I'm delighted to be here. Obviously, it's a great club, I've heard very good things about it and I just can't wait to get started.
“When I came down and spoke to Jonathan [Morgan], and seeing the facilities and then the ambition that he spoke about, what they want to do with the women's team. It was just a no brainer.”
The defender will now link up with her new teammates ahead of the Club’s first season in the Barclays Women’s Super League.

Presumably, all these new ones coming in are better than the ones they let go a few weeks ago?

I'm liking the look of these signings. As a group they seem young but not overly so, and to have some experience at the top level but maybe having a point to prove. Doing something similar seems to have worked with the men's team so hopefully this will pay off well too!
LCFC Women are pleased to announce the signing of forward Abbi Grant after the expiry of her contract with Birmingham City Women.
The 25-year-old Scottish international joins the Foxes ahead of the Club’s first-ever season in the Barclays FA Women’s Super League.
She started her career with Rangers but moved to Forfar Farmington in 2012 before spells with Glasgow City, Hibernian and Celtic.
In January 2019, she penned a deal with Belgian side Anderlecht and helped her team to the Super League title before returning to the UK to sign for Birmingham City in July of the same year.
Upon joining the Foxes, she told LCFC TV: “I’m absolutely delighted to be here; Leicester City is such a huge club and I’ve admired watching the women’s team for a while now.
“I love the direction that the Club is going in and as soon as there was some interest, it was something that I wanted to be a part of.”
She made her senior international debut against New Zealand in March 2018 before netting her first goal for her country against Iceland during the 2020 Pinatar Cup.
