Liverpool Secures Wales Star Lily Woodham: A Game-Changing Signing for the Reds
Wales defender Lily Woodham joins Liverpool FC, bringing her talent and experience to the Women's Super League after a successful stint with Crystal Palace.


Wales defender Lily Woodham has officially signed with Liverpool FC, marking a significant addition to the Reds' squad. The 24-year-old left-back, who captained Reading and represented Wales in Euro 2025, joins Liverpool after her departure from Seattle Reign in the National Women's Soccer League (NWSL).
Woodham spent the majority of the 2024-25 season on loan at Crystal Palace, where she made 20 appearances in the Women's Super League (WSL). Her consistent performances and defensive prowess have made her a standout player in the league.
Speaking about her move, Woodham expressed her excitement: "I'm a fan of Liverpool, so it's a dream come true. I'm really excited to meet everyone. It already feels like a home from home, and everyone has been so welcoming. I just want to bring everything I can to the team and always give my all in games and training."
Woodham joins fellow Wales internationals Gemma Evans and Ceri Holland at Liverpool, strengthening the team's defensive line. This signing is part of Liverpool's broader strategy to rebuild and compete in the WSL after finishing seventh last season.
Woodham's career has been marked by versatility and leadership. She moved to the NWSL after six years at Reading and has also played for Bristol City and Charlton Athletic. Her experience in both English and American leagues brings a unique perspective to Liverpool's squad.
The length of Woodham's contract with Liverpool has not been disclosed, but her arrival is expected to have an immediate impact on the team's performance in the upcoming season.
