Hasegawa signs new deal with Man City until 2029

Yui Hasegawa was last season's Player of the Year at Manchester City

Manchester City midfielder Yui Hasegawa has signed a new two-year contract extension that keeps her at the club until June 2029.

Hasegawa, 28, agreed a three-year deal in January 2024 but has committed her future to the club on even longer terms this summer.

It is a significant move for Manchester City as the Japan international has become a key figure since her arrival from West Ham in 2022.

She has made 95 appearances in three seasons and was shortlisted for the Women's Ballon d'Or award in 2023 and 2024.

"I really want to win the title at this club and there are players I want to play with. This is one of the biggest reasons [why I wanted] to stay here," said Hasegawa.

"New things always have a good impact on the team, so the new manager and new players are so good, and it makes me have to work hard."
