Doncaster-born Jess Sigsworth pens new deal with Manchester United Women

The 25-year-old striker joined the club from Doncaster Rovers Belles during United's formation in 2018.

She has scored 22 goals in 48 games for the club and helped them to fourth in the WSL in the 2019-20 season before the league was curtailed due to the coronavirus pandemic.

Sigsworth scored her first goal of the 2019–20 season in the Red Devils’ 2–0 Continental Cup win against Manchester City in October.

In the 2017/18 season she helped Doncaster Rovers Belles win the FA Women's Super League 2 title as she picked up the Golden Boot award that same season scoring 15 goals.

Sigsworth has also represented England at under 17, 18, 20 and 23 levels.

Speaking to the club website on her new contract, Sigsworth said: "I love this club; as a kid growing up supporting Manchester United it was always a dream for me to one day be a part of its amazing history.

“Signing a new deal is a proud moment for me and I am really excited to continue my journey here. I just can’t wait to be back out there playing for the badge next season.”

United boss Casey Stoney added “Jess is United through and through, so it’s great to see her sign a new contract with the club.

“She is a great talent and has a remarkable work ethic, I see the commitment she gives every day in training, always pushing herself and others which is pleasing to see. I’m looking forward to continuing our work with Jess throughout the next year.”
