Redfearn said: “The more I’ve worked with Maddy, the more I’ve come to appreciate what she gives us and what she’s got as a player.
“She had a great season last season and she’s a vastly experienced player now at this level and to have that sort of experience - someone who knows the club inside out, has high standards - is great.”
Former England youth international Cusack added: “I’m really excited. I’ve loved my time at the club, every season I’ve really enjoyed it and the last one was no different. I’m really pleased to have extended my time here.

Cusack combines her playing duties with work for Sheffield United’s in-house media team.
"I love both of the things that I do and I don’t think many people can say that,” she added.
Sheffield United Women finished seventh in the 12-team Women’s Championship last term.
