Keira Walsh commits future to Man City by signing three-year contract extension

Keira Walsh has committed her future to Manchester City by signing a three-year contract extension

The 22-year-old - who joined the club at the age of 17 - has been a mainstay in the heart of City's midfield since making her debut against Notts County in July 2014.

Walsh has picked up three Continental Cups, two Women's FA Cups and a Women's Super League title at City, with the tenacious midfielder also recognised internationally and earned her first England cap in November 2017.

The 22-year-old has represented the Lionesses on 26 occasions, even wearing the armband during a 6-0 win against Kazakhstan in September 2018, and also helped the team to a fourth-place finish in the 2019 Women's World Cup in France.

"It's amazing," Walsh said. "It's important I've renewed my contract with the club I grew up supporting. It's a special moment for me in my career.

"I still have to pinch myself a little bit sometimes when I'm in and around the building and in training. There's nowhere else I'd rather be. I feel confident playing here, I seem to play well every game and the team are playing well.

"For me now, it's about pushing on and taking ownership of other people's games, helping them to improve - being more of a leader in the team. I'm really happy to have put pen to paper."
