Liverpool Complete Permanent Signing of Denise O’Sullivan From North Carolina Courage

The 31-year-old leaves after nine seasons, bringing title-winning experience to a last-place WSL side.

Overview

  • The transfer was announced on Jan. 17 as a permanent deal subject to international clearance.
  • Several outlets report an undisclosed, club-record fee in the region of £300,000, though neither club confirmed the amount.
  • O’Sullivan departs the Courage as all-time appearance leader with 186 games, having captained the club since 2023 and won seven NWSL trophies.
  • She cited family proximity as a key factor, holds 128 caps for Ireland, and previously had a brief WSL loan with Brighton in 2020.
  • Liverpool sit bottom of the WSL and are winless through 12 matches, and they added striker Martha Thomas on loan the day before O’Sullivan’s arrival.
