""We believe she has all the qualities needed to thrive at City and, more broadly, the WSL, and we're excited to see how she can elevate our already superb squad of players. "Sam is playing at the top of her game, and I think her decision to come here shows the incredible progress we've made as a Club and the ambitions we have moving forward.""
""I think I'm at a place in my career where I feel ready and settled in as a pro. It feels like the right time to really challenge myself in this way," Coffey told club media. "The fact it's official, I'm here and it's all real and happening is just so exciting, and I couldn't be more ready and happy about everything.""
Manchester City confirmed the signing of United States midfielder Sam Coffey on a three-and-a-half-year contract with a reported transfer fee of $875,000 (£650,000). The club's Director of Football, Therese Sjogran, praised Coffey's quality and said she can thrive in the WSL and elevate City's squad, reflecting the club's progress and ambitions. City sit six points clear at the top of the Women's Super League and are well placed to challenge for their first league title since 2016. Sources said City had targeted midfield depth and had been interested in Coffey for some time. Coffey left Portland Thorns after three years and cited a desire to experience playing in Europe, saying she feels ready to challenge herself and is excited about the move.
