Manchester United Women forward Keira Barry says she can't wait to get to work after signing her first professional contact with the club.
The England Under-19 international proudly made her first-team debut as a second-half substitute during last season’s 4-0 victory over Sheffield United in the League Cup.
“I’m absolutely buzzing, just over the moon with getting it all sorted, I can’t wait to get going,”she said.
“I want to carry on exceeding with my football and improving, and getting to show constantly what I can do, and to score more goals.”
“It was so good getting to see how all the professionals work and see what they do daily, even how to prepare for games,“ she added.
“To have such an insight into the changing rooms and all the background work that goes on, it's such good help for young players.”
During the 2022/23 campaign, Keira spent time on loan at Derby County, who play in The FA Women's National League Northern Premier Division, gaining valuable experience in an environment with first-team players.
“It was a good mix because I was still playing for the Under-21s [at United], as well as for Derby, so it was good to get the technical and physical sides of the game.
“It showed a variety of play because the game was so different in that league, I really quite enjoyed it.“
