Jess parks herself at Manchester City

Manchester City is delighted to announce that Jess Park has signed a three-year contract extension to her current deal with the Club, which will see her remain at the Academy Stadium until the summer of 2026.

The 20-year-old striker has been on the books of City since October 2017 when she joined from York City, before earning her first professional contract in April 2020.

She has now put pen to paper on an extension to that deal however, with City’s 2021-22 Women’s Rising Star set to remain in sky blue until the summer of 2026.

The past few seasons have been breakthrough ones for Park, with her making strides in Gareth Taylor’s first campaign in charge of the team and providing a crucial assist in extra time of their 2020 Women’s FA Cup Final win over Everton. Scoring nine goals in 57 appearances so far, the forward also hit her first career hat-trick in a 10-0 FA Cup demolition of Ipswich Town in February 2020.

A highly rated young star in the English game for both Club and country, she has impressed on the international scene for the Lionesses’ Under-19s in recent years, with her firmly a part of their set up and with a bright future ahead of her.

Speaking after signing on the dotted line, Park said: “This is my Club and this is where I want to be - I’m so excited to commit my future to City.

“It’s such a great club – from the players and staff to the facilities and the environment, it’s just such an amazing place to be.

“I’ve supported City my entire life and I think my passion for the Club is definitely clear to see in everything I do, especially on the pitch.

“I’ve learnt so much from the players around me and the coaching staff over the last two seasons since I signed my first professional contract, and I’m looking forward to continuing that for the next four years.”

Head Coach Gareth Taylor said: "We're so pleased that Jess has committed her long term future to the Club - she is very much a big part of our plans here at City.

"Even being so young, she has impressed so much over the last couple of seasons and thoroughly deserves this new deal.

"It's been great to see her receiving the credit she deserves too for her performances, but the best is definitely still to come from her over the coming years and we look forward to working with her to help her grow and develop as a player."
