Following last season’s loan deal with Arsenal, Manchester City Women have made a permanent signing of defender Laura Wienroither.
She has 40 caps for her country and played 51 times for the Gunners, before making eight appearances for City with whom she has now signed a two-year deal.
Wienroither told mancity.com: “I really enjoyed the last six months, I feel like I’ve settled in well. I really like the girls, I really like the staff.
“I think it’s a good group of people here. Everyone is just looking out for each other and I’m honestly so happy to be staying here.
“So, when the opportunity came up that I can stay, I didn’t have to think twice, it was a no-brainer for me. I’m so happy to be finally here.”
Director of Football, Therese Sjogran added: “We’re delighted that we’ve been able bring Laura to City as a permanent signing.
“Laura’s application and performances were outstanding throughout her loan spell last season and, as I expected in January, brought even more quality in the full-back position.
“As we get ready to challenge for trophies from the first minute of what I know will be an exciting 2025/26 campaign, Laura’s reintegration will be a smooth one as I know she shares our ambitions.”
