The 31-year-old arrives from National Women’s Soccer League (NWSL) side Orlando Pride having established herself as one of the leading goalkeepers in the United States.

Her finest season saw Moorhouse break the NWSL single-season clean sheet record, registering 13 shutouts as Orlando Pride won both the NWSL Shield and Championship in 2024.

International recognition followed when she earned a first senior England call-up in July 2024, with the goalkeeper also part of the Lionesses’ triumphant Euro 2025 squad.

She made her England debut four months later at Wembley Stadium and has so far kept clean sheets in each of her international caps.

Before joining Orlando Pride, Moorhouse enjoyed a spell in France at Bordeaux – where she linked up with new team-mate Khadija ‘Bunny’ Shaw – with previous stints in England at Everton, Durham, Doncaster Rovers Belles, Arsenal and West Ham United.

Speaking about her loan move to City, Moorhouse said: “It’s a new challenge, and a different style of play. I’m happy to be here and to get started.

“From top to bottom last season was incredible for City and I’m happy to be here with the champions of England. When a club like Manchester City calls, you have to answer.”

Manchester City Women Director of Football, Therese Sjögran added: “Anna is a goalkeeper with outstanding experience and a proven record of performing at the highest level.

“She has won major honours in the WSL, with Orlando Pride and England, and her consistency, character and quality will be a valuable addition to our squad.

“We are delighted to welcome Anna to Manchester City and look forward to working with her during her time with us.”
