Lauren Hemp signs new three-year deal with Manchester City, ending speculation over her future
Manchester City fans can breathe a sigh of relief as star forward Lauren Hemp has put an end to speculation about her future by signing a new three-year deal with the club. The 23-year-old winger, who has been a key player for City, has been in scintillating form, scoring 65 goals in 157 appearances and helping the club secure four trophies.
Hemp’s contract was set to expire in the summer, with Barcelona reportedly interested in her services. However, the England international has committed her future to City until 2027, citing her desire to take her game to the next level in the Women’s Super League.
“I feel at home here in Manchester. With the squad we have here, we are always learning and it’s so special to be involved at a club where we’re capable of achieving anything,” said Hemp.
Her decision to stay at City has been welcomed by head coach Gareth Taylor, who praised her growth as a player and expressed excitement about the future. City’s director of football, Nils Nielsen, also lauded Hemp’s talent and determination, predicting that she could become one of the best players in the world.
With City currently sitting at the top of the WSL table, Hemp’s contributions have been crucial to their title challenge. Fans can catch her in action as City take on Bristol City live on Sky Sports this Sunday.
As Hemp continues to shine on the pitch, City supporters can look forward to witnessing more magic from the talented forward in the coming years.
