Republic of Ireland striker Leanne Kiernan has penned a new deal with Women's Super League side Liverpool.
Kiernan is the club's second-highest scorer in the top flight, having signed from West Ham back in 2021 and subsequently helping the Reds to promotion from the Championship.
Liverpool begin their league campaign under new boss Gareth Taylor against Everton at Anfield on 7 September.
"It feels amazing and I'm really excited to get going again," 26-year-old Kiernan told the club's website.
"(My family are) delighted, honestly. It's like a second home for them as well as me and they love it over here. I could actually see myself, after I finish my career, in Liverpool. I feel like they're really enjoying coming over to see me.
"(The fans) have been unbelievable – really supportive throughout injuries, really supportive by sticking with us and I feel like they've been there for the good times and the bad. Hopefully we'll be able to celebrate with them a lot this year."
It's been another busy summer of transfer action for Irish players.
Heather Payne joined Leicester City from Everton, Aoife Mannion left Manchester United for Newcastle United, Chloe Mustaki ended her time at Bristol City with a switch to Nottingham Forest, Izzy Atkinson left Crystal Palace for Sunderland, where goalkeeper Grace Moloney and midfielder Jamie Finn have also landed, while Tyler Toland departed Blackburn Rovers to join Durham.
