Former England international goalkeeper Mary Earps is set to return to the Women's Super League (WSL) following the confirmation of her departure from Paris Saint-Germain. The French club announced that the 33-year-old will leave when her contract concludes on June 30, bringing an end to her two-season stint in France. Earps' next move is understood to be a return to English football, with London City Lionesses emerging as a strong contender for her signature.
Earps joined PSG in the summer of 2024 from Manchester United, where she had spent five years and was part of the squad that secured the club's first major trophy, the Women's FA Cup. During her time in Paris, she made 57 appearances across all competitions, contributing to PSG's third-place finish in the Premiere Ligue last season. Her experience in France, including playing at the Parc des Princes, has been described by Earps as a period of significant personal and professional growth.
In a video shared on PSG's social media, Earps reflected positively on her time with the club. She stated, "A crazy, great experience. I’d say great because I’m leaving with such fond memories. I’ve met great people, I’ve trained at a world class facility, I’ve played at Parc des Princes." She added that the experience had "added to my growth as a player and as a person," highlighting the opportunity to play with diverse international talent and achieve several personal 'firsts'.
The anticipated move to London City Lionesses would see Earps join a club that enjoyed a successful debut season in the WSL, finishing sixth under the ownership of American billionaire Michele Kang. Her arrival would bring a wealth of experience and a high profile to the London-based side, bolstering their ambitions in the top tier of English women's football.
On the international stage, Earps was a crucial figure for the Lionesses, playing a pivotal role in England's triumph at the European Championship in 2022 and their journey to the World Cup final in 2023. She earned 53 caps for England before announcing her retirement from international football ahead of their Euros defence last summer.
