Denise O'Sullivan seals move to Liverpool

Republic of Ireland midfielder Denise O'Sullivan has completed a move to Liverpool from NWSL side North Carolina Courage.

O'Sullivan has played for the American side since 2017, releasing a statement on her X account, noting she is "onto a new challenge".

"Nine years. One club. A lifetime of memories," the 31-year-old's statement read. “It’s hard to put into words what this club has truly meant to me.

"North Carolina will always be home, and I’m forever grateful to the club, my teammates, and the incredible fans who supported me & believed in me every step of the way.

"I’m onto a new challenge now, but I’ll always be part of Courage Country.

"From the bottom of my heart, thank you for everything.”

The Ireland midfielder will join Liverpool as they sit bottom of the WSL, and without a win after 12 games.

She will link up with Ireland striker Leanne Kiernan.

Speaking on the move, O'Sullivan said: "It's a very proud moment for myself and also for my family, who are now only a 40-minute flight away.

"Liverpool is a massive club, and I think when you join a club as big as Liverpool, it comes with massive responsibility, and I can't wait to get to work and to give 100 per cent every day."
