Rose applauds ‘great’ Bunny guidance | OneFootball

Jade Rose says she’s grateful for Bunny Shaw’s guidance during her first weeks at Manchester City.

After signing for Andrée Jeglertz’s side in June, the Canada international linked up with her new teammates in late August as the Blues began preparations for the new campaign.

It represented her first move outside of North America after graduating from Harvard University in Massachusetts this summer where she enjoyed a record-breaking spell playing football alongside her studies.

And Rose says she's settled well into life at the Joie Stadium with the help of Shaw and the rest of her City colleagues.

“I think it’s been good to be integrated into a smaller group. First of all, I’m terrible with names so it helps that I have a gradual introduction and can learn them as I go,” she explained

“Having someone like Bunny as a person of leadership to show me around not only the facilities but to the team has been great for me.

“My time here, the transition has been smooth and a lot of that has been down to the staff and team, how welcoming they’ve been and how helpful they’ve been with all the little questions that pop up.

“Moving from a different country and all the things I didn’t think about myself my teammates have been there to support me and help me through it.”

Rose was able to showcase her talents to our supporters for the first time at our sold-out City Are Back open training event on Tuesday.

It was there where fans where able to see Jeglertz’s put his players through our paces as our meticulous preseason preparations continued.

For the versatile defender, the session has heightened her excitement for the upcoming campaign.

She added: “It’s getting me really excited for the season. A lot of people say our fans are the 12th player, and it’s so true.

“To be able to feed off their energy and to see what this club and this team means to them is incredibly important to me. I’m happy we were able to have thus event and I was able to meet the fans.

“I’ve enjoyed my first few days, the transition has been smooth.
