The 18-year-old, capable of playing in multiple attacking positions, has joined the Club from BSC Young Boys Frauen after helping her former employers to the top-flight title for the first time since 2011.

Starting with City’s latest recruit, Beney’s domestic success has translated onto the international stage with Switzerland.

After progressing through their youth ranks, she was named in the Under-17 European Championship Team of the Tournament in May 2023 before being named in the Swiss squad for the World Cup of the same year before a knee injury ruled her out of the competition.

In total, she has made 10 appearances for her nation’s senior side.
