West Ham: Rehanne Skinner says short-term contracts are an ‘issue’ in WSL

West Ham manager Rehanne Skinner says short-term contracts in the Women’s Super League is an “issue” that needs addressing.

The club have lost seven players on permanent transfers this summer, all of whom were regular members of the first-team squad.

Among them were Australia goalkeeper Mackenzie Arnold, Japan internationals Risa Shimizu and Honoka Hayashi and former vice-captain Hawa Cissoko – all were on two-year deals which expired.

It meant the club did not receive transfer fees and lost some of their best players, having to work hard on recruitment this summer to replace them.

“It’s a conversation I had with the club – something we needed to iron out and put in place. Short-term contracts have been an issue for sustainability,” said Skinner.

“We know the turnover has been quite high in the club previously. I’m trying to support the management of that and even that out a lot better – for the fans and the sustainability of the team.

“[It’s about] having a better structure around contract lengths and for when people are coming out of their contracts too.”
