Man City Women captain Houghton signs extension

 

Manchester City Women captain Steph Houghton has signed a one-year contract extension with the club.

The new deal will see the 35-year-old stay until 2024 and extending her time at the club to over a decade, having initially joined City in November 2013 from Arsenal.

Houghton has won eight trophies in her time at the club so far, including four League Cups, three Women’s FA Cups and one WSL title.

The defender is also Manchester City’s all-time women’s appearance holder, playing 233 games in all competitions so far, as well as scoring 21 goals – including two in her last six games.

She told the club’s official website: “I’m over the moon to have another year to look forward to at this amazing club.

“Manchester City has been my home for almost 10 years, and I love everything about it – it’s my club, and to sign for another year, I’m absolutely buzzing.

“When I first joined, I just wanted to be here as long as I could, and to play at the top level, so I never really put a number on it. Once you get closer to that decade mark though, you do think about the idea of hitting that milestone.
