Barrow‑born Lioness Georgia Stanway has opened up about her time at Bayern Munich, calling her decision to join the German giants from the Women’s Super League the best decision of her life and career. The midfielder, who started her journey in football in Barrow before rising through the ranks at Blackburn Rovers and Manchester City, has enjoyed significant success in Bavaria, both domestically and in Europe.

Stanway, who has also become a key figure for the England national team, said the move abroad challenged her to develop in new ways and has left her with no regrets. She has spoken candidly about how embracing life and football in another country helped shape her as a player and as a person, bringing experiences and memories that she will carry throughout her career.

Since joining Bayern Munich in 2022, Stanway has helped her side compete at the highest levels in the Frauen‑Bundesliga and the UEFA Women’s Champions League, adding valuable silverware and continental experience to her CV. Even though she is set to leave the club at the end of the season, she has emphasised that her time in Germany has been special and transformative.

The midfielder’s journey from a small town in Cumbria to the elite stages of European football continues to inspire young players, particularly in her hometown of Barrow, where she remains one of the most successful athletes to emerge from the area.
