Sheffield United sign defender Pearse | OneFootball

Sheffield United have completed the signing of defender Gracie Pearse on a free transfer.

WSL Full-Time were informed of the news via an official club press release from The Blades earlier today.

The 23-year-old joins Sheffield United fresh off the back of winning promotion to the Barclays Women’s Super League with Charlton Athletic last season. She has signed a two-year deal at Bramall Lane.

Charlton Athletic defeated Leicester City on penalties in the play-off final back in May to seal their place in the top flight. Pearse made eight appearances for the South Londoners across the 2025/2026 campaign in which she scored one goal.

Prior to her spell at The Valley, Pearse turned out for Arsenal, Crystal Palace Tottenham Hotspur and Bristol City.

After joining Sheffield United, Pearse said “I’m really excited just to get started now really and get to meet all the girls. I’ve already got four or five of the girls who I know and have met before so it’s nice to have those familiar faces and to have to speak to on the first day when it can be quite daunting.

“For me, the priority is coming into an environment where I feel valued and happy, that’s the most important thing. I can bring some experience from being promoted twice and knowing this league for quite a few years now.”

Pearse is Sheffield United’s third signing of the summer transfer window.
