Women’s Super League champions Manchester City have signed England defender Niamh Charles from Chelsea, City said on Friday.
The 27-year-old has signed a three-year contract until June 2029
The England international becomes City’s second signing this summer after Beth Mead. The defender is a five-time Women’s Super League champion with Chelsea.
The England international has 34 caps and four international trophies, including the 2025 European Championships, where she converted a penalty in the shootout win over Spain.
“I’ve seen City from outside and obviously played over the last few years. They’ve had a lot of success this year and I think what they’re building as a team, the players and the staff, is something I wanted to be part of,” Charles said.
