London Bees are delighted to announce that defender Hayley Hoare has signed a new contract with the Bees for the 2026/27 season!
Hayley Hoare will enter her third season with the club after signing a new contract ahead of the 2026/27 campaign.
The full-back joined the London Bees from Oxford United in the summer of 2024, and in her first season she made 29 appearances for the Bees, starting every game that she featured in.
Hayley also finished her first season as the top assist provider in the entire league, racking up double figures with 14 assists (17 in all competitions) as well as scoring 11 goals for the club (13 in all competitions).
Last summer she took a step back from football to go travelling, and returned to the Bees in November 2025, where she finished this season with 16 appearances, 2 goals and 5 assists.
Her first goal back for the Bees came within the 7-1 victory at home against Chesham United in the league, where she fired a long-range strike into the top right corner.
She also featured in the clubs fourth round Women’s FA Cup fixture against WSL Liverpool, as well as representing the club as vice-captain throughout the second half of the season.
Speaking on Hayley’s new contract, London Bees Head Coach Dan McKimm said:
“Hayley’s return was a big boost to us when it came earlier this year, and I’m delighted to be able to tie her down for another season.
She’s got that model pro characteristic about her and sets a great example to those around her.
She’s played a deeper role than I would have liked for most of the season due to the injuries we’ve suffered with, so I’m looking forward to getting her back up the pitch next season where she can be really effective.
She notched 13 goals and 17 assists in her first spell with us so it’s our job to create opportunities for her to repeat these kinds of numbers next season, and then her responsibility to deliver when we do.
Given the quality she possesses, there’ll be no issues with this if we hold up our end of the bargain”.
Congratulations Hayley!
The deal is subject to the usual FA and League clearances.
