Manchester United Women’s goalkeeper Mary Earps has signed a new contract which will keep her at the club until June 2023, with the option to extend for a further year.
The 27-year-old joined United in July 2019, and has made 35 appearances in all competitions for the club.
Speaking after putting pen to paper, Earps told the club’s official website: “I’m delighted to extend my stay here; we’ve grown so much as a team in the last couple of years and that’s something I’m really looking forward to continuing. I always want to be in an environment that will challenge me, I have a hunger to learn and improve, and the staff here are brilliant in giving me the best opportunity to do that. This team is capable of big things; I want to be playing Champions League football and to be competing for trophies and I know that ambition is shared across the squad. There is nowhere else I would want to be playing my football.”
Manchester United Women head coach Casey Stoney added: “I’m pleased that Mary has committed her future to the club; she has been a fantastic player for us over the last couple of seasons. The experience she has brought to the team has been key, but she is also someone that will always ask questions and strives to improve everyday, and that mindset is great to see. I know that Mary will continue to be an important part of the squad over the coming years, and I look forward to continuing our work with her.”
