Manchester City Extend Mary Fowler Through 2027 During ACL Rehab

The deal underscores the club's faith following a breakout season curtailed by an April ACL rupture.

Overview

  • The 22-year-old forward signed a new contract running to the summer of 2027, extending a deal that had been due to expire in 2026.
  • Fowler suffered a right ACL injury in April 2025, and the club says her recovery will not be rushed as she works toward a return in the coming months.
  • Before the injury, she played in all but one league match in 2024–25, scored six goals, recorded the WSL's second-most assists, and was voted into the PFA WSL Team of the Year.
  • Since joining from Montpellier in 2022, Fowler has made 87 City appearances with 21 goals and 22 assists, and she says the club has felt like home.
  • Analysis noted the 2027 end date leaves roughly 18 months on the deal after her expected comeback, highlighting a relatively short window before the next decision point.
