The Manchester City defender was speaking at the official renaming event for the Blues' home stadium
Manchester City defender Demi Stokes believes it's crucial for the Blues to make a strong start to the season if they are to achieve their goal of picking up silverware this term.
"So absolutely we want silverware this year because we know as a club, we know our standards, and I think we showed that after Christmas, you could see we went on a really good run, so we know it's about starting the season well, picking up points early, and then going from there.”Last season was a challenging one for Stokes, with injury sidelining her for the majority of the campaign.
The 31-year-old was speaking at the official renaming event of City Women's home ground. Formerly the Academy Stadium, the venue will now be called the Joie Stadium, with the club having agreed a multi-year naming rights deal with the British baby gear company. City's decision to partner with Joie holds special significance for Stokes, who became a mum in May 2022 when her partner Katie gave birth to a baby boy. The left-back has spoken candidly about the challenges of juggling motherhood with full-time work and believes sponsorship deals like this one are crucial to helping start important dialogues in the women's game.
