The 28-year-old joined Manchester City in summer 2023 and she has gone on to be a key player for The Cityzens. Roord has made 47 appearances for Manchester City in all competitions while has scored 14 goals. The player would have played an even greater role for the club if not for an Anterior Cruciate Ligament (ACL) injury.
Roord re-joins the club where she spent her youth and the early days of her senior career.
Speaking after completing her move to FC Twente, Roord said 'I am very happy and proud that I am returning to FC Twente. I grew up here and developed myself here.

'I played abroad for fantastic clubs for a long time and gave everything for eight years. In recent years, I have increasingly lost my enjoyment of football and my happiness. I can already feel that I will find that here immediately.
'I still have many ambitions. FC Twente has always been my club and performing with your own club is the best thing there is. I hope to play an important role in that.'
Roord is the second player to leave Manchester City in the close season.

😮 What a stat: Why Bayern's 2022/23 window was wild
Playing for Bayern is probably still the ultimate dream for many footballers. Once you've made it and have been signed by the German record champions, ideally you'd want to play for Bayern for a longer period of time. That's probably what the eight players signed by Bayern in the 2022/23 season thought as well. Well, things always turn out differently than you expect: From a transfer perspective, the 2022/23 season really didn't pay off for Bayern in the long run. They made eight signings during the summer or winter transfer windows, and all eight players have already left the club. Advertisement With Mathys Tel, the last of those new signings has now officially said goodbye to Bayern today. We're curious to see how long the current new signings will stick around at Bayern in the coming years. This article was translated into English by Artificial Intelligence.

🌎 The Club World Cup guide to...Paris Saint-Germain
Our guide to all 32 clubs participating at the FIFA Club World Cup continues. You can check out the full list so far here. Today we're looking Saint-Germain. How did they qualify for the Club World Cup? Paris Saint-Germain booked their place in the USA this summer through the UEFA confederation rankings table. The French side have accrued 85 points over the last four-year period - the fourth-best of any European club. History at the Club World Cup 📸 MAHMUD HAMS - AFP or licensors Advertisement This will be the first time PSG have participated in the Club World Cup. The closest the French side have previously come to anything like the Club World Cup was all the way back in 1975 when they played host to the Tournoi des Paris - a four-way tournament that included South American champions Fluminense and European Cup winners Feyenoord. How did they perform in the 2024/25 season? PSG have been the best team in Europe this season, winning the Treble - Ligue 1, Coupe de France and Champions League. Their 5-0 triumph over Inter in the final in Munich was widely hailed as the best performance in the competition in decades. Who is the coach? Spanish tactician Luis Enrique serves as PSG's head coach. He was appointed in July 2023 and has since extended his contract until June 2027. Under the former Barcelona boss, PSG have become, arguably, Europe's most complete side with one of the most potent attacks in the world. Who is their star player? After adopting a policy of signing the world's most famous players for almost a decade, the French giants have opted instead to go for team cohesion over social media numbers. As such, winger Khvicha Kvaratskhelia is now arguably their most recognisable name. Expected performance at the Club World Cup Despite being drawn in a tough group, if this season's performances are anything to go by, PSG can comfortably be considered one of the favourites. 📸 KARIM JAAFAR - AFP or licensors
