Winning UEFA Women's Champions League with Lyon,

Alex Greenwood

has made 80 appearances for Man City since she arrived in 2020. Upon her arrival, she became the first female player to play for Liverpool, Manchester United, and City, an honor only matched by forward Peter Beardsley.

Now, after playing a key role for both her club and country, Greenwood signs a new 3-year contract with

as she describes the club as her home.

"

It's home for me,"

Greenwood exclusively told

from the boardroom at City's Academy Stadium, after posing for photos.

"It's felt like home since the minute I arrived. For me, it was an easy decision to stay.

"Sometimes things entertain you, sometimes they don't. I've had really good experiences in my career and this is one I really wanted to continue. I love being here and I love this club.

"The ambition of the club meets mine. I still think there is so much more we can deliver and achieve. I want to be a part of that. There are trophies to be won, that I'd like to win as a Man City player.

"This is somewhere I enjoy coming every day. Football transitions all the time but the squad that we've got now is really healthy and really positive. We can really look forward to the future with some exciting players here. We're in a really good place right now."

Gareth Taylor

added:

"It's great news. This was a really important re-sign for us. Alex embodies what City are about - certainly in my time here. Although there have been some ups and downs, some squad rotation, Alex has always been there as a constant.

"She's really adapted well to playing centre-half and has established herself as one of the very best in the game [in that position]. This is an exciting moment and a really good moment for the club. I'm delighted we can move forward together.

"Alex is great at giving the right word at the right moment. She helps the younger players at the club by teaching them how to be professional. She's been around success and played with big players, in big moments.

"We've worked together really well and seen big improvements from Alex. I'm pretty certain that she's got a lot more to come - she's coming into her prime. For us to have her for the next three years is fantastic news."
