Gotham FC have brought in Republic of Ireland midfielder Denise O’Sullivan on a one-year loan from Liverpool, with a commitment to make the move permanent.
O’Sullivan is a two-time NWSL champion and three-time NWSL Shield winner who spent the latter half of last season with Liverpool.
She played 155 times for North Carolina Courage and earlier in her career scored 33 goals in 65 appearances with Glasgow City.
At the international level, O’Sullivan has earned more than 100 caps for the Republic of Ireland.
O’Sullivan told gothamfc.com: “I’m incredibly excited to join Gotham FC and return to the NWSL. This club has established itself as one of the top teams in the world with an incredible culture and ambition to compete for every trophy. I can’t wait to meet my teammates, get to work and do everything I can to help this club continue its success.”
Yael Averbuch West, president of soccer operations, said: “Denise has consistently established herself as one of the world’s top midfielders through her performances in both the NWSL and on the international stage. She brings exceptional experience, leadership and a relentless competitive mentality to our group. Her quality on both sides of the ball and her ability to elevate those around her will make us a better team, and we’re thrilled to welcome her to Gotham.”
