Liverpool forward Leanne Kiernan has signed a new contract with the club.
FAWSL Full-Time were informed of the news via an official club press release from Liverpool earlier today.
The 23-year-old Republic of Ireland international joined The Reds last summer and she hit 13 goals for the club as they won the Barclays Women’s Championship title in 2021/2022, earning promotion back to the top flight in the process.
Kiernan endured an injury-plagued spell at former club West Ham United when she first arrived in the English game but she has proved her fitness to manager Matt Beard at Liverpool. The forward is an exciting player to watch going into the new Barclays Women’s Super League season.
After signing on again with The Reds, Kiernan said “This is a thrilling moment for me and my family, and a really exciting time. I think this club is kind of like home for me.
“People know that if life’s good outside of football you get to perform better on the pitch. I really like the people, I really like the place, and the girls are great around me. I couldn’t have won any awards without them.
“I’m getting used to Beardy being beside me when I sign a contract, this will be my fifth year knowing him! He understands me well and gets the best out of me, so hopefully I can repay him in return.”
Kiernan and Liverpool start the new Barclays Women’s Super League season at Reading on Sunday.
