Connolly is a Robin.

Megan Connolly has signed for City after leaving Barclays Women's Super League side Brighton and Hove Albion at the end of last season.

The midfielder, who played every minute of the Republic of Ireland's World Cup campaign this summer, joins and brings with her four and a half years of experience of experience in the top-flight.

Connolly headed to the US in 2015 to play for Florida State Seminoles before penning her first professional contract in 2019 at Brighton.

“It feels great to be here. I spoke with Lauren [Smith] earlier in the summer so it’s really nice to finally be here and finally get going,” Connolly commented.

“I’ve heard great things about the team and the culture within the group which was a really big thing for me because it can be quite hard to find such strong togetherness. We’re going to be fighting for every result next season so having that is so important.”

“I’m going to try my best to be a leader like I showed at Brighton. I always want to be a good team player and an asset to the group to help in whatever way I can and push the others onwards.”
