Liverpool FC Women Sign Goalkeeper Khiara Keating Permanently

Liverpool FC Women have moved decisively in the market, securing the permanent signing of highly rated goalkeeper Khiara Keating following the expiry of her contract at Manchester City.

The 22-year-old arrives on Merseyside with a reputation already firmly established despite her age. She made her senior debut at just 17, a breakthrough that underlined both her temperament and the confidence coaches have long placed in her.

Keating becomes Liverpool’s fourth new recruit of the summer, a statement addition in a key position as the club look to strengthen their spine for the challenges ahead. She brings with her not only domestic experience but international pedigree, having represented England at youth level before stepping up to the senior Lionesses and making her debut in October 2025.

There is a familiar face waiting for her. In joining Liverpool, Keating reunites with head coach Gareth Taylor, under whom she previously worked during her time at Manchester City. That existing relationship should accelerate her integration into the squad and offer Liverpool an immediate clarity over how to maximise her strengths.

A product of City’s academy system, Keating has been on an upward curve for years. Now, with a permanent move and a starting berth to fight for, she enters the next phase of her career at a club intent on climbing higher.
