London City Lionesses have secured former England goalkeeper Mary Earps on a two-year deal starting July 1. The 33-year-old arrives after her Paris Saint-Germain contract expires, marking her return to the Women's Super League two years after leaving Manchester United.

Earps made 102 appearances for United, keeping 45 clean sheets across five seasons. She retired from international football abruptly before Euro 2024, having been England's No.1 during their Euro 2022 triumph and World Cup final run. Her experience will strengthen a defense that conceded 35 goals last season.

The signing signals London City Lionesses' ambitious recruitment drive under owner Michele Kang, with reported interest in Ballon d'Or winner Alexia Putellas. Earps praised the club's values and vision, including their new training facility.

This represents a significant upgrade for a promoted side aiming to challenge the traditional top four. The goalkeeper's proven WSL pedigree addresses a clear weakness, though questions remain about how multiple high-profile signings will integrate on the pitch.
