Regarding player departures, the club extended its best wishes to Alyssa Aherne and Aoife Mannion as they left upon the conclusion of their contracts in June.
In July, Jess Simpson made a move to Southampton on loan for the 2025/26 season. This transfer was the first of five loan agreements for young players from the Reds to WSL2 clubs that were revealed during the transfer window.
In August, Lucy Newell signed with Birmingham City, while Emma Watson traveled to London to spend the season with Crystal Palace.
On deadline day, Evie Rabjohn became the second player in less than 24 hours to join Sunderland, following Keira Barry’s half-season transfer to the Wearsiders, which was announced the previous day.
Just before the transfer window closed, Grace Clinton’s permanent move to Manchester City was officially confirmed.
