Deal done! Leverkusen midfielder in Lisbon for Sporting | OneFootball

It’s a done deal. Ruby Grant, a 24-year-old midfielder, is already in Lisbon to strengthen Sporting’s women’s football team. The young England international is preparing to leave Bayer Leverkusen and join Micael Sequeira’s squad.

The player is under contract with the German club until June 2027, but is expected to bring her departure forward in order to move to Alvalade, according to the website 'zerozero'. Since arriving in Germany in January 2025 from Hacken, the player has made 36 official appearances, 33 of them in the Bundesliga, and scored one goal.

Developed at Arsenal, where she arrived at a very young age and made her first-team debut at 16, the central midfielder also played college soccer in the United States for the University of North Carolina. Before moving to Germany, she played for Hacken, making 28 appearances during 2024, with two goals and two assists.

Usually deployed in midfield, Ruby Grant stands out for her versatility in central areas and also has experience with England’s youth national teams. Her arrival will give the Sporting coach another option for the middle of the park.
