Having worked her way through the ranks at the Club, the 19-year-old has enjoyed an incredible start to the 2023/24 campaign.
Keating has started each of City’s three Barclays Women’s Super League clashes so far this season, claiming clean sheets against West Ham United and Bristol City.

It’s a remarkable rise for a player who has made just 11 senior appearances for Gareth Taylor‘s side.
Her exploits have been rewarded with a spot alongside six of her City team-mates in the latest England squad ahead of the Lionesses’ UEFA Women’s Nations League double header against Belgium.
In the above interview, Khiara reacts to the news of her call-up, and admits she missed the initial call from manager Sarina Wiegman!
