Man City Women’s young defender Codie Thomas has signed a two-year contract extension until the summer of 2027.
After working her way through the academy ranks, she made her first team debut as an 18-year-old last October, in the UEFA Women’s Champions League.
Thomas told mancity.com: “I feel like training with them [senior squad] last season and playing a couple of games, I feel like I’ve stepped more into that role now and feel more confident.
“Last year was a whirlwind. Obviously, I had my first ever injury, which was really hard and it was hard. But now I’m back and like a little kid running around the pitch. I’m just so happy to be out there.”
Manchester City Women Director of Football, Therese Sjogran added: “Codie is Manchester City through and through, and we’re thrilled she’s chosen to continue her footballing journey with us, as we continue to compete for all honours.”
“We believe she’s on the right path to becoming an important player for the club and are looking forward to seeing what her incredibly bright future holds.”
