Almost six years in and with 177 appearances, 54 goals, and 11 domestic trophies to show for her time with the Blues, Reiten can now look forward to making even more memories.

The 30-year-old - who could be in action this afternoon when we play our first match of 2025 with Sonia Bompastor's side hosting Charlton Athletic at Kingsmeadow in the fourth round of the FA Cup - reflected on what it means to prolong her time in London.

'Chelsea is my family,' Reiten said. 'It feels like home. I know I'm going to be here for another year now and I'm very excited for the future. I'm here to win. I want to win as many trophies as possible, so hopefully we can go and achieve that together.'

Reiten arrived at Chelsea as an experienced international player for Norway, where she had played all of her senior club football at Kattem, Trondheims-Ørn and LSK Kvinner.

Yet, there were new levels to be found by the attacking player. In Chelsea blue, she believes, they have been discovered. And there is still even more to come, Reiten insists.

'I feel like I've developed every aspect of my game,' the Norwegian said. 'I've been here for almost six years now. A lot of things have happened and I've experienced so much.

'I've had the chance to play with players who are so good and that makes you want to - and you have to - be better every day to be a part of a group like this. They push me. I'm definitely a better football player now than I was when I first came to Chelsea.'

'Absolutely, there is more to come from me,' Reiten added. 'That is why I am here. I want to get better every single day. I want to have fun doing that and I know this is the right place to do it.'

After seeing her contract extended, Reiten's next chance to represent the Blues will be in today's FA Cup clash against Championship side Charlton. She has won the competition on three occasions, so knows the challenge it presents.

'The first thing you learn when you come to England is how important the FA Cup is,' Reiten said. 'You want to be a part of the final... it's a big game at Wembley and where every team wants to be.

'We want to start with a good first game. It is one game and we know anything can happen, so we will have to be at our best. The teams who play against us might not have the same pressure - they can go out there and enjoy it knowing we are the favourites.

'We know that, but it's no different to any other game. We always want to be playing at our best level. If we do that, we should put ourselves in a really good position.'
