Manchester City Women have announced the successful completion of a short-term loan signing for experienced England international goalkeeper Anna Moorhouse. She joins the club from NWSL side Orlando Pride.
Moorhouse's arrival bolsters the goalkeeping ranks at the reigning Women's Super League champions, providing crucial cover until January 2027. This signing comes at a pivotal time for the club, following the recent departure of Khiara Keating to Liverpool.
The English shot-stopper brings a wealth of experience and a proven track record to the WSL. Notably, Moorhouse set the NWSL single-season clean sheet record in 2024 and was part of the triumphant England squad that secured the Euro 2025 title, highlighting her pedigree at the highest levels of the game.
Expressing her enthusiasm for the move, Moorhouse stated her excitement about embracing a new challenge and the prospect of competing for the prestigious Manchester City Women. She is eager to contribute to the team's ongoing success.
Therese Sjögran, Manchester City Women's Director of Football, welcomed Moorhouse, emphasizing her extensive experience and established reputation. Sjögran believes Moorhouse will be an invaluable asset to the squad, bringing stability and quality to the goalkeeping position.
Moorhouse is expected to integrate seamlessly into the team's preparations as they gear up to defend their WSL title. The team also faces significant European commitments, making depth and quality in all positions essential for a successful campaign.
With the 2027 World Cup on the horizon, Moorhouse will be looking to secure regular first-team minutes during her spell at Manchester City. This loan move offers her a significant opportunity to showcase her abilities in one of Europe's top leagues and maintain her form for national team selection.
The club is confident that Moorhouse's addition will strengthen their squad and enhance their chances of achieving further silverware in both domestic and European competitions throughout the upcoming seasons.
