Katie Startup joins Liverpool FC Women on season-long loan

Katie Startup has joined Liverpool FC Women on a season-long loan from Brighton & Hove Albion.

The 22-year-old arrives at the Reds with plenty of FA Women’s Championship experience under her belt, having spent last season playing at Charlton Athletic.

That was also the club with whom she narrowly missed out on promotion to the Women’s Super League in 2018-19 after finishing third in the table.

Startup has also been called up by England at U15, U17 and U19 level and will join Rachael Laws and Rylee Foster in Matt Beard’s goalkeeping group this season.

LFC Women goalkeeping coach Joe Potts said: “It’s really important for us to have a strong level of healthy competition for what is a really important position within the club.
