Manchester City left back Demi Stokes has signed a new one-year contract extension to stay at the club until 2024.
Stokes, 31, has made 199 appearances for the club in all competitions for City since joining the club in 2015 – scoring seven goals from defence – and will have been at the club for nine years by summer 2024.
Stokes was also a part of the England squad that won the UEFA European Championships last summer and has lifted seven trophies during her time in Manchester so far.
These include three Continental Tyres League Cups, three Women’s FA Cups and one Barclays Women’s Super League title.
She was also named in back-to-back PFA Women’s Super League Teams of the Year in 2018 and 2019 respectively for her sterling performances.
Speaking about her contract extension, she said: “I’m really happy to have signed a new deal and I can’t wait to get going again.
“Given how last season was for me personally, I’m so grateful to have been given the opportunity to keep doing what I love doing, and that’s playing for Manchester City.
“It was a difficult season for me last year, but I feel like this will be a reset button that will allow me to kick on. I’ll be working hard throughout the summer on everything, and I’m really looking forward to next season.
“I’ve always said that Manchester City is my home, so it was a no-brainer to extend my stay here for myself and my family.”
Head Coach Gareth Taylor added: “We’re really pleased that Demi has extended her stay with the Club.
“Her experience is hugely valued here at Manchester City, and although this past season has been a little up and down for her on the pitch, she has remained an important part of our team behind-the-scenes.
“The impact she has had on the Club since joining in 2015 is clear to see, and almost 200 appearances speaks volumes about what she has achieved so far in a City shirt.
“She still has a lot to offer and we’re really looking forward to continuing our work together.”
