Gilly Flaherty: Liverpool sign former West Ham captain

Liverpool have signed former West Ham captain Gilly Flaherty.

The England defender, 30, left West Ham in May after four years having led them to the 2019 Women's FA Cup final.

She also had spells at Chelsea and Arsenal - winning the quadruple with the Gunners in 2006-7 and the double with the Blues in 2015.

"She's a fantastic defender, a great person, she's a leader and I'm looking forward to working with her again," said Liverpool boss Matt Beard.

The pair previously worked together when Beard managed West Ham from 2018-2020, and Flaherty said that their connection convinced her to join Liverpool.
