Leicester City sign Manchester City forward Pritchard | OneFootball

Leicester City have completed the signing of Manchester City forward Poppy Pritchard on a permanent deal.

WSL Full-Time were informed of the news via an official club press release from The Foxes this evening.

The 20-year-old attacker has signed a three-year deal at The King Power Stadium.

Pritchard has spent the last two-and-a-half years with Manchester City. The player has found first team opportunities hard to come by in her time at The Joie Stadium. Pritchard has furthered her development in loan spells with Crystal Palace, Newcastle United, Durham and Celtic.

The forward started her career with Durham. Pritchard came through The Wildcats’ academy system before impressing in the first team. The player’s strong performances in the 2022/2023 season and in the first half of the 2023/2024 campaign saw her attract the attention of Manchester City who agreed a deal for her services.

On the international stage, Pritchard has represented England at Under-19 level.

After joining Leicester City, Pritchard said “I am super-excited to sign for the Club. The Club has high aspirations, and I want to be part of a team that wants to win games and do well for the supporters.”

Pritchard is Leicester City’s seventh signing of the summer transfer window.
