Liverpool Sign Irish Midfielder Denise O'Sullivan From North Carolina Courage

On Jan 17, 2026, Liverpool completed the signing of Republic of Ireland midfielder Denise O'Sullivan from North Carolina Courage on a permanent transfer, subject to international clearance.
O'Sullivan said she spoke with Niamh Fahey, Liverpool's first women's technical co-ordinator, and Leanne Kiernan, citing long-standing relationships and Liverpool's Melwood training facilities.
With 128 caps, O'Sullivan brings 186 appearances and NWSL Best XI 2019; Second XI 2023 honors after a loan at Brighton & Hove Albion in 2020.
With Liverpool bottom of the WSL without a win in 12 games, O'Sullivan arrives a day after Martha Thomas' loan signing and will reunite with Leanne Kiernan.
Liverpool paid a club-record fee of £300,000, and O'Sullivan's departure leaves North Carolina Courage with only Ryan Williams from their 2019 championship team.
