England international Gemma Bonner has become the latest player to commit her future to Manchester City Women after signing a two-year contract extension.

The versatile Leeds-born defender has made 57 appearances, scoring 10 goals, since her move from Liverpool in 2018.

"I've had a really good two years at the club so far and especially last season, I felt like I played some of my best football so far with some incredible players around me, so I can't wait to continue that journey," Bonner said.

City's head of women's football, Gavin Makel, added: "Gemma is the type of player and person that any team would love to have in their squad.

"Last season, we saw just what she is capable of, with a host of outstanding performances by utilising her wealth of experience.

"Retaining players such as Gemma is an important step to where we want to be as a club, and we're delighted that she has signed a new contract.

"With the appointment of Gareth Taylor as our head coach too, it's a really exciting time for the club and we're ready for the challenges that lie ahead."
