AI Summary

Former England goalkeeper Mary Earps has officially joined London City Lionesses on a two-year deal after her departure from Paris St-Germain. The 33-year-old goalkeeper concluded her time in France following two seasons, where she made 22 appearances in Ligue 1, achieving an impressive 12 clean sheets as PSG secured third place, 13 points behind champions Lyon.

Expressing her enthusiasm for the move, Earps stated, "I feel the club aligns with what I stand for. I can't wait to get started and to get down to business." She emphasized the club's values and vision, noting the incredible plans for a new training facility and the ambition to become competitive quickly.

Earps, a two-time FIFA Best Goalkeeper of the Year, played a vital role in England's success at Euro 2022 and their journey to the 2023 World Cup final. Her previous tenure at Manchester United saw her make over 100 appearances, contributing to the club's first major trophy victory in 2024 with the Women's FA Cup.

Despite her retirement from international football in 2025, Earps remains a prominent figure in women's football, with a mural celebrating her time at Old Trafford.

The London City Lionesses, under the ownership of American businesswoman Michele Kang, are showcasing their ambition in the Women's Super League transfer window, with plans to sign notable players like Mapi Leon and engage in talks with Alexia Putellas following her exit from Barcelona.

Earps acknowledged the competitive nature of the WSL, stating, "It won't be easy - the WSL is extremely competitive. The team had a brilliant 2025-26 season finishing mid-table in their first season, now it's about climbing the table and working towards finishing as high as possible."
