Manchester City forward Jess Park has become the latest player to sign a new contract to stay with the club.
The 20-year-old has been with the club since 2017 since arriving from York City and earned her first professional contract in April 2020.
City’s 2021/22 Women’s Rising Star will now stay with the club until the summer of 2026 after signing a three year contract extension.
Having already impressed on the International stage for the Lionesses Under-19s in recent years she will be looking to make the most of the chances she has been given in City boss Gareth Taylor’s first campaign in charge of the team.
The highly rated forward has scored nine goals in 57 games for City so far, including a first career hat trick in a 10-0 FA Cup demolition of Ipswich Town in February 2020 and also going on to make a crucial extra time assist in the 2020 Women’s FA Cup Final win over Everton.
Speaking after signing her contract, Park said: “This is my Club and this is where I want to be – I’m so excited to commit my future to City.
“It’s such a great club – from the players and staff to the facilities and the environment, it’s just such an amazing place to be.
“I’ve supported City my entire life and I think my passion for the Club is definitely clear to see in everything I do, especially on the pitch.
“I’ve learnt so much from the players around me and the coaching staff over the last two seasons since I signed my first professional contract, and I’m looking forward to continuing that for the next four years.”
Head Coach Gareth Taylor said: “We’re so pleased that Jess has committed her long-term future to the Club – she is very much a big part of our plans here at City.
“Even being so young, she has impressed so much over the last couple of seasons and thoroughly deserves this new deal.
“It’s been great to see her receiving the credit she deserves too for her performances, but the best is definitely still to come from her over the coming years and we look forward to working with her to help her grow and develop as a player.”
