Meanwhile, Bartrip will be a Royal for a further two seasons having penned a new deal at the club.
“I’m excited to see what my future holds for this club and for myself individually,” said Bartrip
“I personally feel I can still improve even more as a player here at Reading and I’m determined to help the club push on in the WSL this season.”
England Under-21 international Pacheo has also extended her stay with the Berkshire club for another season.
“Signing again was a no-brainer for me,” said Pacheo.
“I want to push myself even further this season with this team and working under this manager and these coaches, I feel like I can do just that.
“The new philosophy that Kelly wants to introduce is something that I fully believe in and I think it will help the way I want to develop as a player and as a person. I can’t wait for the new season to start.”
The fourth new contract saw Lily Woodham sign her first professional deal with Reading.
“It’s a dream come true to sign my first professional contract with Reading and I’m thankful for the belief the club have shown me,” said Woodham.
