Liverpool confirm Bonner and Evans will leave at end of 2026 season

Liverpool women's team will say goodbye to defenders Gemma Bonner and Gemma Evans after the WSL season ends.

Club announces departures Liverpool have announced that defenders Gemma Bonner and Gemma Evans will leave the club when the current campaign concludes. Both players have been part of the squad until now and will finish their time at the end of the season. The club shared the update as the WSL season nears its final stages. Their final league match for the Reds will take place at Anfield on Saturday against Arsenal. ## Bonner's legacy at Liverpool Gemma Bonner has been a key figure for Liverpool, captaining the team to back-to-back Women's Super League titles in 2013 and 2014 during her first spell. She later returned for a second stint and became the club's all-time record appearance holder in the WSL era with 186 games. A training facility at Kirkby Academy has been named in her honor, and she scored two goals in a dramatic 4-3 win over Chelsea in May 2024. This season, injuries limited her appearances under Gareth Taylor, with only 10 starts recorded. ## Evans' contributions at Anfield Gemma Evans joined Liverpool from Manchester United in 2024 and has made 38 appearances for the club. The Wales international has played a role in helping the team reach consecutive FA Cup semi-finals. Reports from last week indicated WSL 2 side Newcastle United are in talks to sign her. Her final WSL match for Liverpool will be against Arsenal at Anfield on Saturday at 13:00 BST. ## Farewell celebrations planned The club will honor both players during their last WSL game of the season against Arsenal. The match is scheduled for Saturday at Anfield, kicking off at 13:00 BST. Fans and teammates will have the opportunity to celebrate Bonner and Evans' contributions before they depart. The event will mark the end of their respective stints at Liverpool.
