Liverpool Women sign goalkeeper Foster, who has 'You'll Never Walk Alone' tattoo

Liverpool Women have made a Deadline Day move to sign goalkeeper Rylee Foster.

Foster, 21, joins the WSL club after finishing her career in the American college system with West Virginia University.

The Canada U20 international played 84 times during four years at West Virginia, keeping 39 clean sheets, and was named on the MAC Hermann Trophy long list for the most outstanding college player of the year in two successive years.

She joins three days after Liverpool 'keeper Fran Kitching suffered a serious cut to the head and face during a training session.

Foster, who is a Liverpool fan and has a 'You'll Never Walk Alone' tattoo on her arm, said: "It's been a dream for me to play for Liverpool since I was a young kid.

"To be able to start my professional career and be in Liverpool - this was the ultimate goal for me so to be able to start here is amazing.

"I'm going to come in, work hard and do everything I can to help out.

"I got the tattoo in 2014 after my grandmother passed away. My grandparents are both from Wavertree in Liverpool but moved away during the war. It's just a commemorative thing to show that they are always with me."

Liverpool manager Vicky Jepson added: "Rylee is a good signing for us. It's about signing a good quality goalkeeper that brings competition to our current squad. She's a fantastic fit for us for the future.

"We're glad to have such a young, talented individual join our squad that will add strength. She's settled in well and we're looking forward to seeing what she's capable of."
