The Australian prodigy joins her international teammates Hayley Raso and Alanna Kennedy at Man City as she joins the club from Montpellier on a four-year deal.
Manchester City’s women's team has officially announced the signing of striker
Mary Fowler
from Montpellier on a four-year deal. Making her senior international debut for Australia at the age of only 15 in 2018, the 19-year-old forward has scored seven goals in 24 appearances for her country to date.
"
Man City is a really big club and they play really beautiful football,”
Fowler told
Sky Sports News.
"Going to this club, I'll have all the resources around me to better myself as a player and become the player I think I can become. The coaching staff and facilities and the level of player I'll be around is top level. To be able to go into this environment is everything I need to move forward.
After impressing during her two-and-a-half-year spell at Montpellier earned the Fowler a career boost after she just recently named Australia's PFA young women's footballer of the year, and second on the NXGN 2022 shortlist.
The Australian also shared her passion to work with the
Manchester Cityboss and her new club’s facilities:
"Talking to Gareth, you get a feel for his football brain and talking to him, I look at him and see there is so much he can teach me. I've been to the facilities at City before a few years ago to train with them so I knew what the facilities were like and the kind of resources that they had.”
"Knowing all the resources that are there, and the kind of football minds I'm working with, that's really important for me. I have everything I need there to grow as a player.
"Going to City, I have everything I need. To have the club want me for that length of time, it's such a confidence boost because I can feel how much they're also investing in my future."
"From what I already knew, to seeing them playing and my chat with Gareth, that was enough for me to decide."
City boss Taylor expressed his pleasure to the club's official website:
"Mary is without a doubt one of the most exciting young talents in the game right now and we're absolutely thrilled to have her join us here at City.
