Man City Women’s icon Karen Bardsley has returned in a new Project Officer role as Gareth Taylor’s side prepare for WSL trip this weekend to take on Reading.
Bardsley, 38, spent seven years in East Manchester where she was part of teams that won eight major trophies over her spell as first-choice goalkeeper.
The former English international has been retired for six months after a number of injury lay-offs forced her to call it a day on her playing career.
