The graduation of another homegrown talent is a significant boost for the club’s development pathway, a sentiment enthusiastically echoed by Manchester City’s Director of Football, Therese Sjögran.
Sjögran praised the 18-year-old’s maturity and highlighted the collaborative effort required to prepare players for the demands of top-flight football.
“This is a special moment for Sacha and one she fully deserves,” Sjögran explained. “Her development is another demonstration of the incredible pathway our young players have to the first team, and she’s been a shining example to her team-mates despite still being just 18.”
The Director of Football also took the opportunity to commend Head of Girls’ Academy Hannah Dingley and Lead Coach Izzy Christiansen for their pivotal roles in nurturing Lewis through the Next Gen ranks. “With her talent and attitude, she certainly has a bright future in the game,” Sjögran added.
