Bayern won the Bundesliga last season, with Stanway scoring six goals and providing three assists along the way. She has also been a key performer for England, playing a major role as the Lionesses won the European Championships in 2022.

WHAT THEY SAID

Stanway told Bayern's website: “It feels like home here for me, which is very important for me. This here is the best place for me, and I see my future here. The chance to extend at Bayern, and the fact the club also wants to, is a great honour.

“As a footballer and professional sportsperson, you’re here to assert yourself, and we as a team are here to win. I think that’s a given. I’m very driven and will do everything I can to help the team, both on and off the pitch.”
