Liverpool have signed experienced defender Gilly Flaherty following her four-year spell as West Ham United captain.
Manager Matt Beard told liverpoolfc.com: “The gap from the Championship to the Women’s Super League is getting bigger every year.
“I’ve worked with Gilly before and I followed her career when she was at Arsenal and Chelsea. She’s a fantastic defender, a great person, she’s a leader and I’m looking forward to working with her again.”
Flaherty said: “I know what to expect and that’s why Beardy has brought me here, to give that experience to any players who haven’t had it yet and be a leader alongside the many leaders he’s already got at the club.
“The WSL gets harder every year; it’s going to be tough, but it’s what you want as a professional player.”
