Liverpool F.C. forward Leanne Kiernan has joined Newcastle United on a three-year deal.
What happened?
The 27-year-old spent five years at Liverpool F.C., scoring 23 goals in 76 appearances. She played a key role in their WSL 2 title win in 2022, finishing as the club's top scorer with 14 goals.
Why it matters for Liverpool F.C.
Kiernan's exit comes as Liverpool F.C. prepares for the new season, currently 5th in Premier League with 52 pts, 15W-7D-10L from 32 games, and recent form WLDLW. The Reds have also added to their attacking ranks this summer with the arrival of Germany forward Vivien Endemann from Wolfsburg.
What comes next?
Newcastle United have had a busy transfer window with eight additions, as they prepare to challenge for the WSL 2 title. Kiernan brings attacking depth to the team, and her experience will be valuable in the upcoming season. As of the final 2025 table, Liverpool F.C. is 18 points behind leaders Arsenal, but with the new season not yet under way, the Reds will be looking to close the gap.
