West Ham United have extended Rehanne Skinner's contract for another year after an impressive unbeaten streak in the Women's Super League. Skinner, who became the first female manager of West Ham in 2023, initially led the team to a second-bottom finish, yet they were nine points clear of relegation. This season, the team aims for a top-six finish and currently sits seventh with two matches left.

Their recent form has been remarkable, highlighted by a 7-1 victory over Crystal Palace, which resulted in Palace's relegation. The team also secured draws against both Manchester clubs and Chelsea during their unbeaten run. Skinner expressed her happiness about the contract extension on West Ham's website: "I'm delighted to be extending my contract at West Ham United."

Skinner acknowledged the significant progress made both on and off the field over the past 18 months, attributing it to collective efforts within the club. The team's remaining fixtures for the 2024-25 season are against Aston Villa and Leicester City. They aim to close a two-point gap to surpass sixth-placed Liverpool.

With these upcoming matches, West Ham is focused on achieving their goal of finishing in the top six. The team's current position reflects their determination and hard work throughout the season.
