June 19 (Reuters) - London City ⁠have signed goalkeeper Mary Earps on a two-year ⁠contract starting July 1, the Women’s Super League club ‌said on Friday, as the former England international returns to the competition after two years.

The 33-year-old will join after her contract with Paris St ​Germain expires, having spent two seasons ⁠in France following her ⁠departure from Manchester United.

“The club’s values represent what I want to ⁠represent, ‌and they are passionate about what I want to achieve and change the game in a ⁠positive way," Earps said in a statement.

“I’m looking ​forward to ‌getting to know the players, the staff, the style ⁠of play and ​club culture and trying to give everything I can to help the club achieve its collective goals and be as ⁠successful as possible."

Earps spent five seasons at ​United between 2019 and 2024, making 102 appearances and keeping 45 clean sheets. She helped the club qualify for the ⁠UEFA Women’s Champions League and win the Women’s FA Cup in 2024, their first major trophy.

At international level, Earps played a key role in England’s Euro 2022 triumph and their ​run to the 2023 World Cup ⁠final. She retired from international football in May 2025 with ​53 caps, having also represented England ‌at Under-17, Under-19 and Under-23 levels ​before making her senior debut in 2017.
