Jill Roord: Journey to the top

In the latest instalment of the Official Man City Podcast, Jill Roord joins hosts George Kelsey and Nedum Onuoha to discuss her start to life at the Joie Stadium, her route into the professional game, playing in high-profile matches and much more. A summer 2023 signing from Wolfsburg, the 26-year-old Netherlands international has already made a sizeable impact on Gareth Taylor’s side at the start of the new Barclays Women’s Super League season. So far this term she has made five appearances, scored three goals and registered an assist. The first of these strikes was a sublime effort in our 2-0 opening day win at West Ham when Roord produced a wonderful turn to drive into the box and coolly slot home our second of the afternoon. Throughout a career which has seen the dynamic Dutchwoman play in her homeland, German and England she has consistently performed among the elite of the women’s game. This includes starring at the 2023 World Cup and featuring in the 2023 Champions League final for Wolfsburg.
