Sacha Lewis has signed her first professional contract with Manchester City Women
Girls’ Academy graduate Sacha Lewis has signed her first professional contract with Man City Women.
The defender was a standout for City’s Next Gen side in 2025-26, earning Player of the Season honours as the team secured a fifth-place finish in their debut campaign.
Joining the Club at Under-14 level, the 18-year-old fullback has worked her way up through the ranks to become a regular fixture in the women’s first team setup.
That included appearances in the matchday squad against Chelsea and Brighton in the opening two WSL in 2025-26, as well as against the former in a League Cup semi-final.
An England Under-19 international, she was also part of the travelling squad in City’s Australia pre-season tour in 2024.
Lewis said about getting her contract: “It’s amazing. A lot of hard work was put in and it’s such a great achievement. I’m proud.
“It means so much, it means even more because I support City. Being here in the Academy, not many people get this opportunity so I’m very grateful.”
Director of Football Therese Sjögran added: “This is a special moment for Sacha and one she fully deserves.
“Her development is another demonstration of the incredible pathway our young players have to the first team, and she’s been a shining example to her team-mates despite still being just 18.
“We’re all excited to see what she can achieve at City in the coming years. With her talent and attitude, she certainly has a bright future in the game.”
