Gemma Bonner

Gemma Bonner returned to Liverpool FC Women for a second spell in January 2023, having previously captained the side to two titles.

The defender enjoyed six years with the club during her first stay, leading the Reds to back-to-back Women's Super League successes in 2013 and 2014.

Bonner – who has been capped at senior international level by England – departed in 2018 and represented Manchester City and then Racing Louisville FC in the USA.

On Christmas Eve 2022, it was announced she would be coming back to Merseyside and linking up with LFC Women again.

"I have some incredible memories from my time here previously," said Bonner, who racked up 115 appearances during her first spell with the Reds.

"Growing up as a Liverpool fan it probably means that little bit more. Seeing my shirt with the name on the back again was almost a little emotional.

"The vibe feels good, it feels right to come back, and most importantly hopefully I can show on the pitch and bring something to the team."

Bonner has been a regular in the XI since her return, and in November 2023 she became the outright record appearance holder for the club in the WSL era.
