SWPL: Man City’s Codie Thomas joins Glasgow City on loan | OneFootball

Glasgow City have announced the loan signing of Codie Thomas from Manchester City until the end of the 2025/26 season.

It’s a smart loan move for the 19-year-old defender, who signed her first professional contract with the Women’s Super League club in December 2024.

Thomas made her senior Man City debut in the UEFA Women’s Champions League against SKN St. Pölten during the 2024/25 season. Since her debut, she has made three further appearances, with one in the UWCL. While the other two were domestically in both the WSL and Subway League Cup.

The defender also gained senior experience while on a dual registration deal with AFC Fylde. Khiara Kheating completed the same pathway early in her professional career.

After signing for Glasgow City, Thomas said: “I’m really excited to be here, go out there, get some minutes, and show everyone what I am about.

“The game in Scotland is really interesting, and every match is going to be tough. It’s a really good league to come into and to play in.”

Head coach Jane Ross added: “She’s an energetic player who is composed on the ball and works hard out of possession, and has already gained senior experience in England and in the Champions League.

“As we enter a crucial part of the campaign, Codie’s arrival adds more competition and quality to the squad and we look forward to seeing how she contributes during her time in Scotland.”
