The experienced player, 29, initially arrived at the club in 2019 from Liverpool having previously played for Arsenal and Chelsea with loan spells at Nottingham Forest, Barnet, and Los Angeles Strikers.

Coombs made her debut for England in October 2015 after being a regular at youth level.
During her time at City she scored five goals from 34 appearances in all competitions for City.

And her signing will offer City some stability in what is likely to be a summer of change after the departures of Sam Mewis, Rose Lavelle, and Megan Campbell.

Speaking about her extension, she said: “It feels great to have signed a new contract here at City – it was an easy choice for me to make.

“I feel settled and happy, both on and off the pitch, so it was a natural decision for me to stay.

“It’s an amazing environment to be a part of – we are treated like ultimate professionals and as players, we can’t ask for anything more.

“In my first season, I felt as though it was a bit of an adjustment period for me but this past year, I think I’ve shown what I can bring to the team, both technically and tactically, and doing that within such a high-quality squad has been amazing.

“Moving forward though, I’m determined to keep on developing and improving to help the team.”
Gareth Taylor, Manchester City Women Head Coach, added: “I think Laura probably surprised a lot of people last season in terms of her own individual output and how well she has done.

“She’s a very talented player and her quality and technical ability is impressive, while she’s provided us with some memorable moments this year.

“The challenge for her will be to push for more game time next season – she has impressed hugely this term and we really believe in her and her quality.

“She’s a great person to work with – she’s very coachable, always wants to improve and I’m really looking forward to continuing that over the coming seasons.”
