Former Liverpool vice-captain Taylor Hinds has officially signed for Arsenal as she joins the club where she previously played as a youth prospect.
The Jamaican international joins Arsenal, seven years after she left the club to join WSL rivals Everton.
She spent seven years on Merseyside, two with Everton and the last five seasons with Liverpool.

Hinds insisted she wants to win trophies at Arsenal. The Gunners are better positioned than Liverpool to be challenging for trophies, after winning the Champions League and finishing second in the WSL during the 2024-25 season.

She played a crucial part in the club’s return to the WSL in 2022 and made 131 appearances for the Reds.

Speaking to Arsenal’s official website, she said her experience at Liverpool has matured her as a player. She also hopes to bring leadership experience she gained at Liverpool to her new club.
She said: “It’s really matured me. I think you don’t just think of yourself, you think of others, and I think that’s what really changed me throughout the years. I was grateful for that opportunity, and hopefully, I can bring that here as well.”
