Manchester City have announced the signing of United States international midfielder Sam Coffey on a three-and-a-half-year deal.
WSL Full-Time were informed of the news via an official club press release from The Cityzens this afternoon.
The 27-year-old joins Manchester City from American National Women’s Soccer League (NWSL) club Portland Thorns. She was an NWSL Championship winner with Thorns in 2022 and has spent her entire senior career to date with the club.
On the international stage, Coffey has been capped by the United States on 42 occasions while she has scored five goals.
After joining Manchester City, Coffey said “City really stood out from the get-go. First and foremost, the style of play and when I watch the team play, the girls look and seem happy and they seem so close and connected.
“I think I’m at a place in my career where I feel ready and settled in as a pro. It feels like the right time to really challenge myself in this way. The fact it’s official, I’m here and it’s all real and happening is just so exciting and I couldn’t be more ready and happy about everything.”
Coffey is Manchester City’s first signing of the January transfer window.
