The 18-year-old joined from BSC YB Frauen and signed a contract that will keep her with the Women’s Super League club for four years. This move makes her the second arrival of the summer window for the team. Earlier in the week, the club secured the services of Canada international Jade Rose from Harvard University.
Last season, Beney managed to hit the net nine times across 22 matches while playing for BSC YB Frauen, helping the club secure the Swiss Super League title. She also earned a spot in the league’s best XI for that campaign.
During her official announcement, Beney expressed her excitement by saying, “I’m very happy to be here and I can’t wait to start the new season with Manchester City.”
She explained that her early conversations with the club’s director of football, Therese Sjogran, gave her strong confidence that City would be the right step for her growth.
Beney Targets Growth Under City’s Possession Style
She added that the City’s objectives for the next season align with her personal goals as a young player. The forward mentioned that the club’s style of play suits her perfectly, especially because she enjoys being involved in possession-heavy football.
Beney also took a moment to show appreciation for her previous club. “I would also like to thank everyone at Young Boys who has helped me on my journey so far,” she said.
Her international experience began early, as she played in the 2023 Women’s World Cup at the age of 16. Since then, she has featured ten times for the Swiss national team.
Therese Sjogran shared her thoughts by confirming that Beney has been on their radar for some time. She explained that the club is pleased to complete the signing of a player they view as a very promising young forward.
According to Sjogran, Beney made it clear during their conversations that she is determined to develop further, and Manchester City believes she has both the mindset and skills to contribute to the team right away and keep improving in the long term.
City ended their previous WSL campaign just one point shy of qualifying for the Champions League. That season also saw a coaching change, as Gareth Taylor was removed from his role in March.
