Bunny Shaw, the talented striker for Manchester City, has been making waves in the football world with her impressive goal-scoring abilities. However, with her contract set to expire at the end of the season, there have been speculations about her future with the club. When asked about it, Shaw remained coy and did not reveal much, keeping her cards close to her chest.
This season, Shaw has once again shown her prowess in front of goal, scoring an impressive 19 goals in just 21 games, helping her team secure their first WSL title in a decade. Despite her remarkable record of 113 goals in 134 games for City since joining in 2021, it seems that the Jamaican international may be leaving the club at the end of the season. According to reports from The Guardian, Shaw has been unable to reach an agreement with City for a new contract and is now looking for a new challenge.
Among the frontrunners to sign her are rivals Chelsea. However, when asked about her future, Shaw remained focused on the present, stating that she has two more games with City at least, and the outcome of their upcoming FA Cup semi-final against Chelsea will also play a role in her decision. She expressed her desire to finish the season strong with her current team and see what the future holds.
Shaw's impressive goal-scoring abilities have not gone unnoticed, as she was recently named Player of the Year at the 2026 Women's Football Awards. This was the perfect way to cap off an eventful 24 hours for Shaw, as her team was also crowned WSL champions following Arsenal's draw with Brighton on Wednesday. Reflecting on the past 24 hours, Shaw said, "It's been a very interesting 24 hours from winning the league last night to being here winning this award tonight.
But it's been a long time coming and it's something that we wanted to get our hands on and to finally see it happen. It's a good feeling." City's success this season can be attributed to the freedom given to the team by their manager, Andree Jeglertz. Shaw praised his coaching style, stating that he encouraged the team to express themselves on the field and have fun while playing.
This has resulted in their improved performance and consistency throughout the season. While Shaw and her teammates are eager to celebrate their league triumph, they still have one more hurdle to overcome as they face Chelsea in the FA Cup semi-final this weekend. Shaw is determined to win the game and secure a spot in the final, stating, "We've won the league now, so we can definitely put all our focus on that game, and we're going to attack it and give everything we've got." She also expressed her excitement at the possibility of playing at Wembley, a stadium she has only been to once before.
