Mariam Mahmood will extend her stay with West Bromwich Albion Women by another season, Sky Sports News understands.
The 19-year-old's future had been plunged into doubt after the departure of head coach Jenny Sugarman, who left West Brom last month to pursue other projects.
But Siobhan Hodgetts stepped up from the coaching staff to replace Sugarman, and has been joined by former West Brom player Abbie Hinton, with the pair both having worked closely with Mahmood since her early teens.
That is understood to have reassured former England Colleges international Mahmood that West Brom remains the best place for her to develop as a footballer.
