Video: Mia Enderby signs for the Reds
Mia is a versatile forward. Enderby will bring further versatility to the squad with her ability to play centrally up top or out on the flank. "I'm a fast, creative player, I like to get forward, I like to beat defenders," she told Liverpoolfc.com. "I like to score – it's what forwards do – and I really enjoy assisting other people as well, so hopefully I can bring that into my games."
She represents England at youth level. Enderby has played for her country from U14 level right through to the U19s. Her last appearance for the U19 side saw her play alongside new club-mates Hannah Silcock and Lucy Parry.
She played for Sheffield United as a 16-year-old. Enderby joined the Blades in July 2021 from Leeds United's Regional Talent Centre. She quickly gained senior experience when she was handed a debut a month after signing. Her first goal came in a Women's FA Cup tie with Stourbridge in the December. She ended the 2021-22 season as recipient of the club's Young Player of the Year award.
2022-23 was a breakthrough season for Mia. The 18-year-old ended the previous campaign with nine goals to her name in all competitions. She also saw regular game time in the FA Women's Championship, making 19 appearances – 12 of which were starts.
She's a determined player with big ambitions. After her transfer was completed, Beard said: "We're really excited because she has the potential to be one of the best and we're really excited she's chosen to come here. From conversations with Mia and watching her play she's got no fear and I'm confident she'll take the move in her stride."
