Crystal Palace Women are delighted to announce that midfielder Shanade Hopcroft has returned to the club.
The 28-year-old joins the club on a two-year deal and will wear the No. 24 shirt.
Hopcroft first signed for Palace in 2023 from London City Lionesses, having begun her career at Chelsea’s Academy.
In her first season in red and blue, she was voted the Women’s Players’ Player of the Season by her Crystal Palace teammates and was crucial to our historic Women's Championship title win and subsequent promotion to the Women's Super League.
Playing as a creative midfielder, she made 27 appearances that season - scoring six times and providing three assists.
After a 2024/25 campaign disrupted by injury, Hopcroft hit the ground running for the 2025/26 season in the Women’s Super League 2.
