Glasgow City are pleased to announce Megan Foley and Erin Clachers have signed new
two-year contract extensions with the club.
Foley joined the club in December 2016 from Rangers and has since made 175
appearances and moved into the top 10 all time appearance makers for Glasgow City last
month.
The 29-year-old has scored 19 goals during her six and a half year spell at the club along
with playing a wide variety of positions as she has helped the club win four Scottish Women’s
Premier League titles and one Scottish Cup.
Commenting on the new deal, Foley said: “I am delighted to be extending my contract
with Glasgow City. I have had an amazing journey and look forward to continuing to work
hard and learn from the best in the game!”
Leanne Ross commented: “I am delighted Megan has extended her contract at Glasgow
City. You don't appear on the top 10 all time appearance list without having made a
significant contribution to the success this club has achieved.
“Megan has shown her versatility playing a variety of positions over the years and it is
that versatility combined with her work ethic and exemplary attitude that make her an
important and valued member of this team. It is welcome news to everyone that Megan is
staying at the club, we look forward to continuing our work together.”
Clachers has had City in her DNA for almost a decade! She was an academy prospect and
has now played more than 80 times for the club since her first team debut against Glasgow
Girls in the 2016 SWPL Cup and has also made three appearances in the UEFA Women’s
Champions League, including coming on a substitute in the Quarter Final against VfL
Wolfsburg in 2020.
The goalkeeper has five Scottish Women’s Premier League titles and a Scottish Cup
triumph to her name in her time at the club so far along with being named in a Scotland
training camp.
Commenting on the new deal, Clachers said: "I’m delighted to be extending my time
here and I hope to repay the faith the club has put in me by helping the team
gain more success."
Head Coach Leanne Ross added: “As her team mate and now her coach, I know more
than most the contribution Erin has made to the success Glasgow City has achieved over the
years.
“I have seen close hand her growth as a person and her development into one of the top
goalkeepers in this country and for that reason, I am delighted she has decided to extend her
time at the club.
“Erin is a fantastic person to have in the dressing room and has become someone I can
rely on to drive the standards on the pitch. I look forward to seeing what more she can
contribute in the years ahead.”
