Khadija “Bunny” Shaw has sealed a four‑year extension with Manchester City, keeping the WSL star in Manchester until 2030. The deal arrives after she captured the Football Writers Association Footballer of the Year award and helped the Citizens clinch their second league crown. Shaw dismissed Chelsea interest, calling City her home and praising her development over five seasons.

She finished the 2025‑26 campaign with 21 goals in 22 league games, becoming the first player to net over 20 in three separate seasons and securing her third WSL Golden Boot. Her 117 goals and 28 assists across 137 appearances underline a record‑breaking tenure since arriving from Bordeaux in 2021.

Director of football Therese Sjögren hailed Shaw as a leader who will drive City’s push to retain the title and return to Champions League action. With the Women’s FA Cup final against Brighton looming, City hopes Shaw’s experience tips the balance. The extension signals City’s intent to dominate English women’s football for years.

Keeping Shaw also locks down a commercial edge; her marketability and on‑field success boost ticket sales and sponsor interest ahead of the 2026‑27 season. As City eyes a domestic double, her contract ensures continuity in attack while rivals scramble for comparable talent.
