The England international has signed a contract which will keep her with the Blues until the summer of 2029 following an illustrious six years at Chelsea.
She arrives at the Joie Stadium with a remarkable CV which includes 13 domestic honours and four international trophies, including the 2025 European Championship.
Ready to write the next chapter in her wonderful career so far, the 27-year-old joins Andrée Jeglertz’s side in the wake of our Barclays Women’s Super League and FA Cup double in 2025/26.
For Charles, she says the project at City was something she wanted to experience.
Speaking for the first time as a City player, she said: “[It’s] really exciting. I’m really happy to be here, I’ve had a great day meeting everyone and seeing the facilities. I can’t wait to get started.
“I’ve seen from the outside and obviously played against them during the year and the past few years.
“They’ve had great success this year. And I think what they’re building as a team, the players and the staff, it’s something I want to be a part of.
“It suits me and fits me, the culture they’re building and the style of play. I just think it’s the perfect fit and hopefully we can have some good times together.”
