Everton complete club-record signing of Leicester City midfielder Mace | OneFootball

Everton have completed the signing of Leicester City midfielder Ruby Mace for a club-record transfer fee.

WSL Full-Time were informed of the news via an official club press release from The Blue Girls this afternoon.

It has been reported that the 21-year-old has signed a three-year deal on Merseyside.

Mace started her career with Arsenal before moving to Manchester City in summer 2021. The player spent three years at The Joie Stadium before joining Leicester City in summer 2024 off the back of a successful loan spell with The Foxes. Mace helped Leicester City to collect a club-record points tally in the Barclays Women’s Super League last season.

On the international stage, Mace has represented England at various youth levels. She received her first senior call-up last November and went on to make her debut in a friendly against Switzerland.

After joining Everton, Mace said “It is a great feeling to join Everton. It is unreal that this is going to be the home of Everton Women. I am so excited to get started.

“I feel so at home here, the girls are lovely. Everyone is just backing everyone and I just can’t wait to get started on the pitch.

“I said to my parents when I first heard about Everton, how the owners making Goodison the Women’s new home shows just how much they are backing the team. It means so much to everyone.”

Mace is Everton’s ninth signing of the summer transfer window.
