Liverpool signs Wales defender Woodham from Seattle Reign

Liverpool FC Women have officially signed Welsh international left-back Lily Woodham from Seattle Reign on a permanent transfer, marking their fourth signing of the summer. Woodham, a lifelong Liverpool fan, expressed excitement about joining the club and contributing fully in training and matches. The 24-year-old defender, who has over 40 caps for Wales and started all their games at Euro 2025, spent the 2024-25 season on loan at Crystal Palace in the Women's Super League. She previously played for Bristol City, Reading, Charlton Athletic, and Seattle Reign in the NWSL before mutually terminating her contract to realize her dream of playing for Liverpool. Woodham replaces vice-captain Taylor Hinds, who departed for Arsenal earlier this month, and joins fellow Welsh internationals Gemma Evans and Ceri Holland at the club. This signing helps bolster Liverpool's squad ahead of their 2025-26 Women’s Super League campaign opening with a Merseyside derby at Anfield.
