England goalkeeper Khiara Keating has turned down a new contract at Manchester City and is uncertain about her future.

Her current deal runs out next year and she has interest from elsewhere in the Women's Super League.

The 21-year-old is a graduate of the Manchester City academy and a lifelong fan but could leave this summer in pursuit of regular game time.

She had to compete with Japan's Ayaka Yamashita for City's number one shirt last season and only started four WSL games.

Keating was still part of a successful squad that won a first WSL title in a decade and clinched the Women's FA Cup with victory over Brighton.
