Robe inks new Liverpool Women deal

Liverpool defender Leighanne Robe has signed a new deal with the Reds.

The Cambridge-born defender started her career at Arsenal and joined Liverpool in 2018 after spell with Watford and Millwall.

Two of the four subsequent seasons were spent in the WSL and Robe was part of the squad that won the FA Women's Championship last term.

Manager Matt Beard told liverpoolfc.com: “Robey had a great season. She’s a great one-vs-one defender, who very rarely gets beat. I’m really pleased with her progression over the year on the tactical side.

“The big thing we want to create again this year is the competition for places. We’ve got some fantastic defenders at the club and it’ll be difficult for me to pick a team this year.

“Robey deserves a new deal and I’m really looking forward to see how she kicks on this year.”
