BREAKING barriers after country’s equal pay deal
When Katie McCabe returned to
Arsenal from a successful loan at Glasgow City in 2017 she did not expect she would be staying. She had struggled for playing time and with injuries after turning down a host of other teams to join the trophy-laden club in December 2015 and was not a part of the then manager Pedro Martínez Losa’s plans.
“When I came back from Glasgow City we trained for two weeks and I was out of contract in the December and [the new manager] Joe Montemurro sat me down after the two weeks’ training and then he said he was going to offer me a contract extension to the summer and I was thrilled,” she says. “To be honest I thought my Arsenal career was over and he gave me a lifeline.”
