Chelsea FC is thrilled to share heartwarming images capturing a special family moment following captain Reece James’ signing of his new long-term contract with the club.
The 26-year-old academy graduate, who has committed his future to Stamford Bridge until June 2032, was pictured alongside his sister, Chelsea Women star Lauren James, in joyful celebration after putting pen to paper on the six-year extension.
The siblings, who made history as the first brother and sister to represent England at senior level, shared a proud and emotional embrace, underscoring the deep family ties that have long been intertwined with the Blues. Reece, Chelsea’s club captain and an England international, has been with the club since the age of six, while Lauren continues to shine for the women’s team, adding to the James family’s remarkable legacy at Cobham.
In the photos, Reece beams with pride while holding his new contract certificate, with Lauren by his side offering support and congratulations. The images, widely shared across social media and club channels, highlight the personal significance of this milestone for one of football’s most dedicated families.
Reece James commented on the occasion: “Chelsea means so much to me, and having my family — especially Lauren — here to share this moment makes it even more special. We’ve both dreamed of moments like this growing up, and to achieve it together at the club we love is incredible.”
This contract renewal secures Reece during his prime years, aligning him with Chelsea’s incentivised wage structure and providing stability as the team pursues further success under head coach Liam Rosenior. The club views the extension as a testament to Reece’s loyalty, leadership, and ongoing contributions despite past injury setbacks.
Chelsea FC congratulates Reece on this exciting chapter and looks forward to many more memorable moments — both on and off the pitch — with our captain leading the way.
