Liverpool have completed the permanent signing of Republic of Ireland international midfielder Denise O’Sullivan.

WSL Full-Time were informed of the news via an official club press release from The Reds this morning.

The 31-year-old joins Liverpool from American National Women’s Soccer League (NWSL) club North Carolina Courage where she has spent the last eight years. O’Sullivan won three NWSL Shields, two NWSL Championships and two NWSL Challenge Cups with Courage.

O’Sullivan has played Barclays Women’s Super League football previously in a loan spell with Brighton & Hove Albion in 2020.

On the international stage, O’Sullivan has been capped by the Republic of Ireland on 128 occasions in which she has scored 22 goals.

After joining Liverpool, O’Sullivan said “It means a lot. It’s a very proud moment for myself and also for my family, who are now only a 40-minute flight away.

“Liverpool is a massive club and I think when you join a club as big as Liverpool, it comes with massive responsibility and I can’t wait to get to work and to give 100 percent every day.”

O’Sullivan went straight into the Liverpool squad for this afternoon’s Adobe Women’s FA Cup fourth round tie against FA Women’s National League South East club London Bees at The Hive.
