NewsGemma Bonner and Gemma Evans to depart Liverpool FC Women

The pair will bid farewell on Saturday at Anfield in the Barclays Women's Super League season finale with Arsenal.

Bonner departs as a bona fide Reds legend and the club's all-time leading appearance maker in the WSL era, having played in 186 games across two spells.

The centre-half captained the club to back-to-back league titles in 2013 and 2014 before returning for a second stint in January 2023.

She set a new appearance record in November of that year by surpassing Ashley Hodson's previous best of 134, leading to a dressing room at the Kirkby Academy being renamed in her honour.

Vastly experienced and talented, Bonner was an important figure in the Liverpool side that re-established themselves in the top flight with finishes of seventh and fourth in 2022-23 and 2023-24 respectively.

The 34-year-old has been on the scoresheet five times in the second chapter of her Reds career, two of which came in a thrilling 4-3 victory against Chelsea at Prenton Park in May 2024.

Injury has limited her to 10 outings in the current campaign – the 10th one she has been involved in at the club.

Evans, meanwhile, signs off two years on from her arrival from Manchester United.

The Wales international has appeared 38 times, to date, across her pair of seasons on Merseyside – both of which have included runs to the semi-finals of the Adobe Women's FA Cup.

The versatile defender opened her goalscoring account this past September against Sunderland in the Subway Women's League Cup and then followed that up with a close-range finish at London Bees in the FA Cup fourth round in early 2026.

Supporters have the chance to pay their tributes to the departing duo this weekend, when the Gunners visit L4.

Everyone at LFC would like to thank them for all their contributions and wish them well for the future.
