England and Manchester City star defender Alex Greenwood has signed a contract extension with the club that will see her remain in the club until 2026. Greenwood, who came on as a substitute in the final when the Lionesses beat Germany to win Euro 2022 in July, joined Manchester City in 2020.

Greenwood speaking on her new signing said: “Feeling settled at a club for me is so important and I have that here at City, I just love being here.” The 29-year-old also said: “It’s an exciting time to be at City, both now and for the future.”
Greenwood, who has also played for Liverpool, Notts County and Everton, led Manchester United to the Women’s Championship title in 2019, before joining Lyon, where she won the Champions League.
In her two-and-a-half seasons with Manchester City, she has won the Women’s FA Cup and Continental Tyres League Cup. Head coach of Manchester City Gareth Taylor said: “We’re thrilled to have Alex sign a new deal here at the club.”
She also said: “She is an incredibly important member of the squad, and her experience has proven invaluable to not only herself but those around her in the team over the past few seasons.” Manchester City sits fourth in the WSL and will travel to West Ham on 15 January, when the season resumes.
