“We believe there’s still plenty more to come from Deven and we’re looking forward to seeing her continue to contribute to the team this season.”
Jackson said she was excited to build on her first season in City blue.
“My first season at City was an incredible experience and to finish it as Premiers and Champions was really special,” Jackson said.
“I’ve loved being part of this group and I’m excited to have the opportunity to continue building on what we achieved last season.
“I can’t wait to get back to work and hopefully help the team compete for more silverware this season.”
