Women’s Super League (WSL) Golden Boot ​winner Khadija “Bunny” Shaw has signed a new ‌four-year contract with Manchester City, ​extending her stay to what ⁠would be nine seasons with the club.

There was speculation Shaw would leave City for Chelsea at ‌season’s end, but she revealed the news on stage at ‌the club’s end-of-season celebratory event ‌at ⁠Co-op Live arena, a couple ⁠of weeks after City won its first WSL title in a decade.

The Jamaica international ​is enjoying one ‌of her most prolific campaigns, finishing as the league’s top scorer for a third consecutive year with ‌21 goals in 22 games ​as City.

The new contract will reportedly make her the highest-paid women’s footballer in the world, with the forward earning over £1m per season until 2030.

“I’m so happy to be at this incredible Club ⁠for another four years,” Shaw said. “I’ve always said that Manchester City feels ‌like home -- I’ve developed so much as a player and grown so much as a person during my first five years here.

“Helping the girls win the WSL title ‌is one of the proudest moments of ​my career, and I’m so excited to see what we ⁠can do next season and beyond ... although ⁠there’s one more huge game to come against Brighton.”

City plays ‌Brighton & Hove Albion in the FA Cup Final on Sunday at ​Wembley Stadium.
