Phallon Tullis-Joyce has committed to Manchester United for three more years, aiming to continue making history with the club. Initially joining in September 2023, her new contract extends until June 2028. Despite only four appearances in her debut season, she has become the first-choice goalkeeper after Mary Earps' departure.

This season, Tullis-Joyce has excelled by maintaining a league-high 13 clean sheets and conceding just nine goals in the Women's Super League (WSL), the fewest in the competition. She has faced 59 shots on target and, according to Opta's expected goals on target (xGoT) model, prevented 7.2 goals.

The United States international also earned her first cap last month. She shares the top spot for most punches (13) with Kinga Szemik and ranks second for clearances (27) in the WSL. Her performance has been pivotal for Manchester United this season.

Tullis-Joyce expressed gratitude for her journey with Manchester United through the club's media channels. "I am really grateful to have this opportunity to continue the exciting journey we are on," she stated. The team harbours ever-growing dreams of achieving great things together.

Manchester United currently holds third place in the WSL as they pursue Champions League qualification. They have also reached the FA Cup final for a second consecutive year, facing Chelsea as they defend their title.

Tullis-Joyce is proud to wear the Manchester United badge and is eager to contribute further to their success. "We want to keep making history," she said, highlighting her commitment and pride in representing the club.
