New contract for Araya Dennis

We are delighted to announce that Araya Dennis has signed a new, long-term contract with the Club.

Araya said: “I’m really happy to sign my new deal. I love being a part of this group and I love the ambition of the Club as well. It’s something I want to be a part of.”

Our Head Coach Martin Ho said: “Araya is a bright young talent with huge potential and we’re really pleased she has committed her future to the club. She has shown a strong desire to learn, develop and improve every day, and we believe this environment is the right place for her to continue that growth.

“We’re excited to support Araya as she takes the next steps in her journey and progresses into the next phase of her development here at Tottenham Hotspur.”

Signing her first professional contract with us in February, 2024, Araya made her first Women’s Super League start in our season opener against West Ham United this term and has since gone on to make five appearances in all competitions.

After putting pen to paper on a professional deal, the youngster then spent the remainder of the 2023/24 campaign at Crystal Palace, where she helped Laura Kaminski’s side to promotion to the WSL for the first time in their history.

A versatile player, who can operate on either side in the forward and defensive areas, the 20-year-old scored her first goal for the Club last season – in our 2-0 win over Crystal Palace in the League Cup – before spending the second half of the campaign on loan at Southampton, where she made nine appearances.

The forward has represented England at Under-19 level and has been a part of their squad for the last two UEFA Women's Under-19 European Championships in 2024 and 2025.
