Having joined the Club as a 10-year-old and progressing through each age group within our Academy set-up, the contract is a result of Jhanaie’s hard work over the years into becoming a regular member of Martin Ho’s training squad in the last 12 months.
A huge moment in the very early stages of her exciting career, the young winger couldn’t be prouder to make her dream - and her family’s - come true when she signed on the dotted line.
“I'm over the moon,” the 18-year-old told us. “I feel like I've put in a lot of hard work and it's turned out great. I'm just grateful, it means a lot to me and my family. My nan, she's not here with us, unfortunately, but I'm just glad to make her proud.
“I've been here since Under-10s and it's just been a journey, to be honest. Obviously with highs and lows, but it's been great and I've learned a lot through this experience.
“Since Under-10s, I've just gone up and it started off like grassroots, but it's really developed now.”
Jhanaie initially joined the First Team environment when she joined our performance camp in Spain last summer and has continued to make massive strides in her development in the past year as she continues to learn her trade alongside experienced Women’s Super League players.
Making her first appearance at a senior level in our pre-season victory over Granada last month, coming on as a second half substitute, the England youth international has enjoyed every minute of being in the environment.
“It was good,” she explained when asked about her experience on the performance camp. “I feel like the intensity and the pace of the game was much different and it was just nice to get a taste of what could possibly happen next.”
“I've learned from older players, from more experienced players, and they've challenged me on and off the pitch. I'm just grateful that now I get to show the world who I am.
“Hopefully I can make my debut and just keep learning, improving as a player on and off the pitch, and just living life and being happy."
The deal also includes an obligation, subject to performance related conditions, to make the move to the Black Cats permanent next summer.
Arriving initially on loan from Ligue 1 side RC Lens in February, 2025, the Austria international joined us permanently ahead of the following campaign and made 52 appearances in our colours, scoring once.

Martin Ho, said: "JP signing her first professional contract is a really important moment, not only for her, but for what we are trying to build as a football club.
"We want to identify, develop and invest in talented young players, and this is a clear example of that pathway in action. We have a strong academy network, we are committed to developing our own players, and we want young players to see that if they work hard, there is a real opportunity here at Tottenham.
"JP has trained with us regularly since I arrived at the Club, and what has stood out is her attitude, her commitment and the way she has continued to improve. She has worked extremely hard for this opportunity, and she is fully deserving of it. Since returning for pre-season, she has been outstanding. She's shown real personality, confidence and quality in the way she has trained, and has continued to take important steps in her development.
"This contract is a significant investment in JP and in the future of the Club. Our responsibility now is to keep supporting her, challenging her and helping her develop all parts of her game so she can continue progressing towards the level we believe she is capable of reaching."
Alongside training with the first team last term, the 18-year-old has featured in two of our Under-19s opening three games of this campaign, scoring three goals, including a brace in our 7-1 win over London Bees in the FA Women’s National League.
