Gabby George Completes Manchester United Exit to Join Brighton
Gabby George has left Manchester United to sign for Brighton & Hove Albion, the Red Devils confirmed on their official website. The defender departs Old Trafford after a spell as a Women’s Super League regular, with Brighton announcing her arrival for the new campaign.
What Gabby George’s departure means for United
The exit lands as United Women enter a new era under recently appointed head coach Eva Olid, who succeeded Marc Skinner earlier this month. George becomes one of the first players to move on as the squad around captain Maya Le Tissier takes shape for 2026–27. Goal reported Brighton had been closing in on the deal for days before it was rubber-stamped, describing it as a six-figure agreement; United did not disclose a fee.
For supporters, it is another change at Leigh Sports Village during a busy summer. You can follow every development through our Manchester United Women coverage as Olid prepares for her first WSL season in charge.
George now links up with Brighton ahead of the new WSL campaign, hoping to build on her Old Trafford years on the south coast. For United, the focus turns to strengthening Olid’s squad before the season gets under way.
