June 12 (Reuters) - Manchester ⁠City have signed England forward Beth Mead ⁠on a three-year deal from Arsenal, the ‌Women’s Super League Champions said on Friday.

Mead's contract with Arsenal expired at the end of the season after nine years ​with the London club.

The 31-year ⁠old won the Champions ⁠League and multiple domestic titles during her tenure with ⁠Arsenal.

“I’m ‌very proud to be here. Obviously, City had an amazing season last year ⁠and I am excited to start a ​new chapter,” ‌Mead said in a statement.

“I think the ⁠way City ​play suits me really well, and I feel like it can bring something extra out of my ⁠game.”

The England international has also earned ​81 senior caps and was part of the squads that won the European Championship in 2022 and ⁠2025.

“Beth’s achievements in the game speak for themselves,” said City’s director of women’s football, Therese Sjogran.

“Signing a player of Beth’s quality can only strengthen ​us. She has shown she ⁠can consistently perform on the biggest stages we ​want to compete on, and ‌she will be a brilliant ​addition to our squad.”
