Manchester City sign Canadian international defender Rose | OneFootball

Manchester City have completed the signing of Canadian international defender Jade Rose on a four-year deal.

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

The 22-year-old joins Manchester City off the back of a successful college career in her time with Harvard University. She has turned out for Unionville Milliken, Harvard Crimson, NDC Ontario and FC Premier Women in her club career to date.

On the international stage, Rose has collected 30 senior caps for the Canadian national team, scoring one goal.

After completing her move to Manchester City, Rose said “I’m so incredibly excited [to join City], so proud of how far I’ve come, and I just can’t wait to get started. I think the history of the Club, the fans, the style of play, the city, everything [attracted me to City].

“I’m just super-excited to get started. I’m ready to win the Champions League, to win every trophy that’s out there. I think the sky is the limit for this team and I can’t wait to grow and get at it.”

Rose is Manchester City’s first close season signing. The club are expected to be very active in the summer transfer window as they look to mount a fresh title challenge in next season’s Barclays Women’s Super League.
