Manchester United is happy to announce that 18-year-old defender Lucy Newell has signed her first professional contract with the club.

Newell is yet another product of our club's Academy system and follows in the footsteps of Alyssa Aherne and Keira Barry in recent years.

The teenager progressed through the ranks at West Bromwich Albion and was dual registered with United throughout the 2023/24 campaign.

She also won the Women's Academy Players' Player of the Year award for the 2023/24 season and has already been capped at international level with England’s Under-19s.

Lucy recently spent time with Marc Skinner's senior side during our summer training camp in Marbella, having been handed the no.55 shirt for this season.

Everyone at the club is delighted to see the 18-year-old rewarded for her efforts and continue in her development at the club.
