Gemma returned to Liverpool FC Women for a second spell at the club in January 2023.

“I have some incredible memories from my time here previously,”

Gemma had previously enjoyed six years with the Reds, captaining the side to back-to-back Women’s Super League titles in 2013 and 2014 and Central Defender.

Capped at senior international level by England – departed in 2018 and represented Manchester City and then Racing Louisville FC in the USA.

On Christmas Eve 2022, it was announced she would be returning to Merseyside and linking up with Matt Beard and LFC Women again.

“Growing up as a Liverpool fan it probably means that little bit more. Seeing my shirt with the name on the back again was almost a little emotional...

...The vibe feels good, it feels right to come back, and most importantly hopefully I can show on the pitch and bring something to the team.”

Gemma racked up 115 appearances during her first spell with the Reds.
