Mary Earps leaves Paris Saint-Germain to make anticipated WSL return
Former England goalkeeper Mary Earps will leave Paris Saint-Germain when her contract expires on 30 June ahead of a likely return to the Women’s Super League.
The 33-year-old is heavily linked with a move to London City Lionesses following two successful seasons in the French capital.
Owned by American billionaire Michele Kang, the London club enjoyed an impressive debut top-flight campaign last year to secure a sixth-place finish.
Fond memories in France
The acclaimed shot-stopper originally joined the Parisian side from Manchester United in the summer of 2024.
During her spell across the Channel, she amassed 57 appearances and was instrumental in securing a third-place finish in the Premiere Ligue last term.
Reflecting on her tenure in a video released on the club’s social media channels, she described the period as a crazy and great experience that aided her personal growth.
I’m leaving with such fond memories. I’ve met great people, I’ve trained at a world class facility, I’ve played at Parc des Princes.
I’ve got to play with some fantastic players from all over the world. I got to go to Africa for the first time with the final of the League Cup.
A glittering legacy
Prior to her French adventure, the decorated veteran spent five transformative years in Manchester.
Her standout moment with the Red Devils came when she helped them lift the Women’s FA Cup to mark the club’s first major trophy.
On the international stage, she cemented her legendary status as a key figure in the squad that triumphed at the 2022 European Championship.
The Euro winner also played a pivotal role in guiding her country to the 2023 World Cup final.
She ultimately earned 53 senior caps before announcing her international retirement ahead of the team’s European title defence last summer.
I’m leaving with my heart full and I’m so happy, privileged and lucky that I was able to have such a wonderful experience here.
