It's an honour to extend my deal with Manchester City. This club offers everything a player needs to fulfil their ambitions, and there's nowhere else I want to be.

To be honest, I'm now at one of the best teams in the world. To be part of this club and to have this opportunity is great. I'm very happy to be part of Manchester City's team, and I look forward to trying to do my best to help the team reach their goals.

I've always tried to play for the team, not just for myself but for the whole team.

For me at 16 and 17 years old, I wasn't even playing for the academy teams. I hardly played in the starting XI for the Under 19s.

If it's football season, all things sort of stop. I'm from Seattle, so I'll watch the Seahawks and whatever other game that day is worthy.

I am a sporty person who loves to go to the gym, train, play football.

In recent generations, women's sports have been a blessing. Some of us can remember the bad old days in the '50s, when we would discover in casual schoolyard play that a girl could outrun most of us or hold her own in basketball or hit a softball - but there were no teams, no coaches, for girls.

I have done 'Sports Illustrated,' but I don't regret it because it portrayed me in a positive way - as an athlete.
