Versatile Megan Campbell has become the latest player to extend her contract with Manchester City Women.
The 33-times capped Republic of Ireland international, who will be 24 on Wednesday, has agreed a new contract with the club which will see her remain at the club for another year.
Since joining the club after a spell in the US at Florida State Seminoles, Campbell – who has a trademark long throw-in – has quickly become a fan favourite player despite having her playing time curtailed by injury.
A left-footed defensive minded player, Campbell has won every domestic honour with Manchester City Women, being a part of the squad that regained the FA WSL Continental Tyres Cup trophy, became the 2016 Women’s Super League Champions and won the SSE Women’s FA Cup for the first time in the Club’s history.
The team also made it to the semi final of the UEFA Women’s Champions League during the 2016/17 season against holders Lyon.
Speaking about her contract extension, Campbell, said:
“I have loved every moment at Manchester City and can’t wait for next season.
“Winning the Women’s FA Cup at Wembley with the team was a highlight for me this year, especially after having to overcome injury to get there and I’m just happy that I could be a part of helping the squad achieve something so special.
“The support from Nick and all the coaching and backroom staff has been integral to getting me back in form and I’m looking forward to challenging for even more success next season.”
Nick Cushing, Head Coach of Manchester City Women, added:
“Megan is a young player with a lot of potential.
“She has come back from injury stronger than ever and shown everyone what she can offer on the pitch, I have been delighted with her performances in the games she played this season and look forward to having her on the team once again when we kick off the new season.”
