Mewis has 67 international matches and 18 goals for his country, two plays in France last summer.
“I’m so glad everything’s settled. The opportunity presented itself at a very clever moment, as soon as I heard about the option to bet on Manchester City, I became interested without delay,” Mewis said on the club’s website.
“The club is one of the world and I’ve heard a lot of smart things about all the women and the amazing facilities. I’ve also been on the men’s team for a long time.”
Mewis won the NWSL championship with Western New York Flash in 2016 before adding two more titles to the festival with Courage after joining them the following year.
City ended with Chelsea in the 2019–20 Women’s Super League after the end of the crusade due to the COVID-19 pandemic and the festival was point-by-match.
