Republic of Ireland defender Megan Campbell has signed a new one-year deal with Manchester City.
The 26-year old has made 42 appearances for City since joining from the Florida State Seminoles in February of 2016.
Campbell's new deal will keep her at City until 2021.
The former Raheny United full-back is currently recovering from a foot injury, the latest set-back in her Women's Super League career.
Campbell endured a lengthy spell on the sidelines after suffering a cruciate ligament injury while on Women's Champions League duty in 2017.
"I’m really pleased to have signed a new contract, especially knowing I’m unfortunately injured at the minute", Campbell told City's website.
"When you’re injured, it’s always a difficult situation when you’re coming to the end of your contract and you’ve picked up an injury or a niggle but I’m glad City have given their full backing and support behind me to get back fit.
"To have that faith from the club is a nice gesture and I’m looking forward to getting back fit and playing again.
"I don’t think anyone has seen the best of me yet – I don’t think I’ve seen it from myself as a footballer.
"There were glimpses at the end of 2017 in the Spring Series and the FA Cup Final where I got to show what I’m about.
"I’m more driven than ever to be back involved."
Campbell's foot injury saw her miss the final month of what was the 2019-20 WSL campaign, but she feels she's heading in the right direction with her fitness at last.
"I’m on track with where I need to be and I’m meeting with the surgeon soon so I’m looking forward to that to see what he thinks of my progress.
"Hopefully, I’ll get back running soon – back on the grass. I’m thankful for the people around me.
“Everyone is really excited and really looking forward to the new season and seeing what [new head coach] Gareth Taylor is about.
“I’m itching to be around that, getting coached by him. He’s driven and passionate about the Club and he’s going to bring something different to the team in terms of style of play and the way we approach things and I’m intrigued."
