Khadija Shaw has signed a new contract with Manchester City until 2030

Manchester City striker Khadijah Shaw has signed a new four-year deal with the club, just days after it looked like she was going to be crowned Women’s Super League champions this summer.

The Jamaican forward finished as the WSL’s top scorer for the third consecutive season, scoring 21 goals in 22 games as City won the title for the first time since 2016.

Chelsea were favorites to sign him as a free agent after contract renewal talks broke down.

But Shaw, 29, announced his new deal until 2030 at City’s season celebrations, where he received the player of the season trophy.

“I’m still here, I’m still hungry and there’s no place I’d rather be,” he said.

Shaw added that he was “delighted to announce I will be staying at the football club”, before being mobbed by his teammates.

This season she also won the Football Writers’ Association Women’s Footballer of the Year award and was named the WSL Player of the Season.

City face Brighton in the Women’s FA Cup final on Sunday as they hunt a domestic double.

Shaw has scored 26 goals and provided seven assists in 31 appearances in all competitions so far this term.

Since joining City in 2021, he has scored 117 goals in 137 appearances and is the club’s record goalscorer.

“It’s a huge statement from City that we have secured the services of one of the best centre-forwards in the world,” said director of football Therese Sjogran.
