Liverpool FC Women have signed 22-year old former Turbine Potsdam midfielder Marie Höbinger from FC Zurich.
A creative midfielder, Höbinger is coming off her most successful goalscoring season with nine strikes in 15 games, and in January she was nominated for the AXA Women’s Super League Player of the Season.
“I’m so happy to be here,” Höbinger told Liverpoolfc.com. “I love English football, men’s and women’s, so I always wanted to play in the WSL. I probably never even imagined playing for Liverpool.
“When I spoke to Matt [Beard] and Russ [Fraser, managing director] for the first time they gave me a really good feeling. It felt so natural talking to them and Matt gave me new perspectives as a player.
“After the call I just had such a great feeling, I could see myself enjoying football here.”
Matt Beard said: “We’re delighted Marie’s chosen to come to Liverpool.
“She’s a box-to-box midfield player, she’s aggressive, she’s quick, she’s athletic and we’re really excited by her potential.”
