Aguero poses with City's latest signing... hotshot Duggan joins from Everton's women's team



England Women's striker Toni Duggan has signed for Manchester City Ladies on a three-year contract.

The 22-year-old rejected the offer of a new deal at Everton to become the third England player to move to the Etihad since the end of the FAWSL season.

Duggan scored 13 goals to help Everton to a fifth place finish last season - and also netted a hat-trick during England's World Cup qualifier victory against Turkey in September.

She is looking forward to playing for City in what will be the club's first season in the expanded Women's Super League next year.

'Their plans for the women's game are massive,' she said. "They are looking to take the game to the next level and that's what it needs.'

'The move is a big change for me and, I'm not going to lie, it's been hard.

'I was at Everton from a young age and they've done so much for me.

'As I say, I can't thank them enough but sometimes you just need a fresh challenge and I want to better myself as a player.'
