Manchester City Women defender Codie Thomas has signed a two-year contract extension, keeping her at the club until summer 2027.
Thomas, who joined City&rsquo;s academy in 2016, has progressed through the ranks to become a key figure in senior squads. She made her first-team debut in October 2024, starting at right back in a UEFA Women&rsquo;s Champions League victory against St. Polten. Further appearances followed in the WSL against Leicester City and in the return fixture against St. Polten.
Despite an injury at the start of 2025, Thomas returned in time to represent City at the inaugural World Sevens tournament in Portugal. Speaking after signing, Thomas said, &ldquo;It&rsquo;s amazing to sign a contract extension. City is a place where I want to learn and develop, on and off the pitch. Since I was a little girl, it&rsquo;s been a dream come true.&rdquo;
Manchester City Women Director of Football Therese Sjogran praised Thomas&rsquo; development, stating, &ldquo;Codie is Manchester City through and through. Her progress from our academy into the first team highlights the strong foundation we have, and we&rsquo;re thrilled she&rsquo;ll continue her football journey with us.&rdquo;
Thomas&rsquo; extension reflects the City&rsquo;s commitment to nurturing young talent and integrating academy graduates into the senior squad as the club continues to compete for domestic and European honours.
