Mary Earps Signs Two-Year Deal With London City Lionesses

The transfer signals owner Michele Kang’s plan to deploy marquee signings alongside a new training facility to accelerate London City’s rise in the WSL.

Overview

  • London City confirmed on Friday that Mary Earps has signed a two-year contract and will join the club officially on July 1, 2026 after her PSG deal expires.
  • Earps is a decorated goalkeeper who won Euro 2022, earned 53 England caps before retiring in May 2025, and returns to the WSL after two seasons at Paris Saint‑Germain.
  • The club described Earps’ decision as driven by shared values and the prospect of a new training base, and Earps said she wants to help London City climb the table.
  • Her arrival creates immediate competition with current number one Elene Lete and strengthens the club’s goalkeeping unit as coaches prepare for pre‑season integration.
  • London City, backed by Michele Kang and fresh from a sixth‑place WSL finish in 2025–26, has been linked with further high‑profile targets such as Mapi León and Alexia Putellas in what media describe as an aggressive summer recruitment drive.
