The winter break is over and the players returned to the City Football Academy today ahead of the Club’s most exciting season.
This year brings another shot at the FA Women’s Super League title, along with the FA Cup and Continental Cup, plus - for the first time - the Champions League.
Club photographer Victoria Haydn headed out to the pitches to snap their first training session of 2016 - the team were clearly glad to be back!
Abbie McManus was all smiles as the squad took to the pitch
As was Izzy Christiansen
But it was soon time to get down to business
New recruit Jane Ross received her first taste of the City Football Academy
Nikita Parris dug in, fresh from signing a permanent contract
Youngster Georgia Stanway enjoyed the session
Awaiting new instructions from the boss
Jill Scott put in the hard yards as always
As did the skipper, Steph Houghton (MBE!)
Fully focused as ever
Though there was plenty of fun to be had!
