Liverpool have completed the signing of experienced defender Gemma Evans following her departure from Manchester United.
The centre-back had moved to United following spells at Reading and Bristol City, working alongside Liverpool manager Matt Beard at the latter.
Evans has made more than 100 Barclays Women’s Super League appearances and has over a half-century of caps for Wales.
“It’s a massive move for me,” Evans told Liverpoolfc.com. “Last season was a difficult year for me as I had to learn to be a teammate in a different way on the field.
“So it’s so exciting to be at Liverpool and working with Matt again, and I’m proper looking forward to getting ready to go.”
Matt Beard said: “I’m delighted to bring Gemma in. She is a talented player, has got great experience playing in the WSL and international football with Wales, so with her personality as well coming in I think it’s a great fit for us.
“Gemma is versatile and can also play left-back. Last season we lost Taylor [Hinds] for a few months and Jas also had a difficult end to the season with injuries and we looked at it and felt it was something we needed to address.”
