Liverpool Sign Jenna Clark from Glasgow City on Two-Year Deal
Liverpool have signed Scotland defender Jenna Clark from Glasgow City on a two-year deal. The 21-year-old centre-back has made 137 appearances for her former club, scoring 28 goals and earning six senior appearances for Scotland.
Clark expressed her delight at the move, saying: “It’s something I’ll never take for granted, getting this opportunity. My dad’s always been a Liverpool fan, ever since Kenny Dalglish came here, so growing up there was only one team for me to support. My Christmas present from my girlfriend [last year] was an Anfield stadium tour so to be here as a player and not just a fan is amazing.”
Clark’s Successful Career at Glasgow City
During her five years at Glasgow City, Clark won four league titles and one Scottish Cup. She was part of a successful side that also included Scotland internationals Leanne Crichton, Joanne Love and Hayley Lauder.
The defender was also part of the Scotland squad that reached the quarter-finals of the 2019 FIFA Women’s World Cup in France. She made her international debut in 2018 and has since gone on to make six senior appearances for her country.
Liverpool’s Summer Signings
Clark becomes Liverpool’s second signing of the summer following the arrival of striker Natasha Flint. It is understood the Reds are also set to add Australia international goalkeeper Teagan Micah and 18-year-old English striker Mia Enderby. They are close to finalising a two-year deal for defender Grace Fisk, who left West Ham after three years this summer.
The Reds have been busy in the transfer market this summer as they look to strengthen their squad ahead of the 2020/21 season. Manager Vicky Jepson will be hoping that the new signings can help her side challenge for honours next season.
Conclusion
Jenna Clark’s move to Liverpool marks an exciting new chapter in her career. The 21-year-old has enjoyed a successful spell at Glasgow City and will be hoping to replicate that success with the Reds. With several other signings already completed this summer, Liverpool are looking to build a squad capable of challenging for honours next season.
