"The England international, 22, marked her debut by coming off the bench to score in the 5-1 success at Brisbane Road. Clinton also played a part in Laura Coombs' injury-time strike when her shot deflected into the path of her new team-mate. It was the perfect start to life at City, who she joined on deadline day from rivals Manchester United, with England team-mate Jess Park going the other way."
"When Clinton switched Manchester clubs just hours before the transfer window closed, she stated on Instagram, external that she and United "weren't on the same page". "She looked happy when she came on and looked like she enjoyed the game," said Chelsea goalkeeper Becky Spencer, who played with Clinton at Spurs during her loan spell during the 2023-24 campaign. Clinton undoubtedly adds further depth to a stacked squad of players at new City manager Andree Jeglertz's disposal."
