Alanna Kennedy is the latest Matilda to make a move in the Barclays FAWSL after signing with Manchester City for the upcoming season.
Kennedy joins City on a two-year deal, linking up with Hayley Raso who was also announced as a Man City player earlier in the month.
The 26-year-old joins City after spending the 2020/21 season with Tottenham, and after playing a big part in the Matildas' record fourth-place finish at the Tokyo 2020 Olympic Games.
“Obviously Manchester City as a whole is amazing and they’re known across the globe, but also I think just the style of football that's played here will suit me personally," Kennedy told mancity.com
“I want to help the team any way that I can, but what attracted me to it mostly is just the brand of football that they play here as it’s incredible to watch.”
Head coach Gareth Taylor praised his new signing.
“Alanna is a player of top experience, both abroad and in the FAWSL.
“She’s also versatile and is capable of playing in a number of positions, so we’re really pleased to have been able to add someone of her ilk and quality to the talented squad we already have.
“With her personality, we feel like she’ll fit right in with our ethos here at City and we’re very much looking forward to working with her over the coming seasons.”
Manchester City, who finished runners-up in the 2020/21 FAWSL season, begin their 2021/22 campaign on September 4 against Everton.
