Alisha Lehmann has committed her future to Aston Villa by signing a new three-year deal.

The Switzerland international, who featured for her country at the Women's World Cup, has been a key player for Villa since joining from West Ham in 2021.

Lehmann, 24, has agreed terms to remain with the Women's Super League outfit until 2026, with the option of extending for a further year.

Manager Carla Ward told the club's official site: "Alisha has been a big part of our journey since I arrived and has played a huge part in our progression as a football club.

"She is a very important piece to the puzzle and is someone I thoroughly enjoy working with.

"We're delighted she's committed her long-term future with us."

The winger has racked up 54 appearances in claret and blue, scoring 10 goals.

Six of those came last season as Villa finished a record fifth place in the WSL and reached the Women's FA Cup semi-finals for the first time.

Lehmann's form was enough to earn herself a place in Switzerland's World Cup squad, coming off the bench in group games against Philippines and co-hosts New Zealand.

She was an unused substitute as La Nati were eliminated in the last 16 by eventual winners Spain.

On her aspirations at club level, Lehmann exclusively told LiveScore last March: "With the players we now have, we can achieve everything.

"With this team, we've been so consistent and it's going well and we're all really happy.

"We're close as a team. Every day we go to training and have a good vibe."
