Park enjoying ‘incredible’ spell with title-chasing Manchester City

JESS PARK admits it has been an “incredible” last few weeks, having seized the opportunity she was waiting for.

With Jill Roord sidelined after sustaining an anterior cruciate ligament injury in January, Park, on loan at Everton last term, came into the Manchester City midfield for her first Women’s Super League start this season when champions Chelsea visited the Academy Stadium in February.

The 22-year-old promptly set up the early Khadija Shaw finish that proved the only goal in that contest and has since scored three times and provided three assists across four further WSL victories for title-chasing City last month, including a 3-1 City of Manchester Stadium triumph over Manchester United in which she notched a brace and teed up Shaw once again.
