Alex Greenwood has extended her stay at Manchester City, signing a new two-year contract that keeps her with the club until 2027. Greenwood joined City from Lyon in 2020 and has since become a key player for the Women's Super League leaders. She expressed her commitment to the club, stating, "I'm really happy to stay here, it's the club I love and the club I want to be successful at, and I'm really happy to be here for another two more [years]. "
Greenwood's journey with Manchester City began five years ago when she returned to England. Since then, she has made 99 WSL appearances for the club, more than any other player in City's top-flight history. Her contributions have been significant across all competitions, with 152 appearances and notable
achievements like winning the FA Cup in her first season and the Women's League Cup in 2021-22.
In 2024, Greenwood was appointed as captain of Manchester City following Steph Houghton's retirement. She became only the second player in the club's professional history to hold this position. Her leadership on the field is evident as she continues to make an impact in the current season.
This season, Greenwood has played six matches in the WSL, providing one assist. Her efforts have helped City maintain a narrow lead over defending champions Chelsea by one point. The team is focused on extending their advantage as they prepare to face rivals Manchester United at Etihad Stadium this Saturday.
Greenwood's dedication to Manchester City is clear as she aims to achieve more with the club. She stated, "Personally, I have so much unfinished business to be done, and I love this football club. It feels like home to me now, and I feel this is where I belong and am meant to be. " Her passion for success drives her continued commitment.
We're delighted to announce that Club captain Alex Greenwood has signed a contract extension to the summer of 2027.
