From making over a century of international appearances to playing with some of the footballing greats in America, Alanna Kennedy has enjoyed a storied career.

But at just 28, the defender still has plenty to look forward to, and has committed her future to Manchester City until 2025 with a new two-year deal.

Her excellent reading of the game, athleticism and composure in possession have become a familiar sight for supporters since she first moved to the Academy Stadium in 2021.

However, in an insightful and candid interview celebrating her new deal, City Studios learn more about the defender’s upbringing and footballing career before joining City.

Indeed, Alanna sports several tattoos, some representing important people, moments or places to her both on and off the pitch.

And these pieces of artwork help to tell the story of her life and career to date, from first catching the football bug while playing with her brother and sister back in Australia through to mixing it with some of the greats in the Women’s game over in the United States.
