Liverpool FC has announced that two of its defensive stalwarts, Gemma Bonner and Gemma Evans, will be leaving the club at the conclusion of the current season.

Gemma Bonner, a true icon of the women's game, departs with an extraordinary legacy. Having captained the Reds to back-to-back Women's Super League titles in 2013 and 2014, the 34-year-old is Liverpool's all-time record appearance holder in the WSL era, with 186 games to her name. Her contributions have been so significant that a dressing room at the Kirkby Academy has been named in her honor. Fans will also fondly remember her unforgettable brace in a thrilling 4-3 victory over Chelsea in May 2024.

However, injuries have limited Bonner's game time this season, with the defender making just 10 appearances under manager Gareth Taylor. This has paved the way for a new chapter in her storied career.

Joining Bonner in the departure lounge is Welsh international Gemma Evans, who arrived from Manchester United in 2024. The 29-year-old has been a reliable presence at the back, making 38 appearances and helping the club secure back-to-back FA Cup semi-final appearances. Reports from last week suggest that WSL 2 side Newcastle United are in talks to sign Evans, indicating a potential move north.

Both players will be celebrated by the club at Anfield on Saturday, during Liverpool's final WSL game of the season against Arsenal (13:00 BST). It will be an emotional send-off for two defenders who have given their all for the badge.

As the season draws to a close, these departures mark the end of an era for Liverpool Women, but also signal a new beginning. For fans looking to commemorate these legends, now is the perfect time to gear up in official Liverpool FC apparel and celebrate the moments that made them great.
