Liverpool striker Katie Stengel has completed a surprise summer loan move to National Women’s Soccer League (NWSL) side NJ/NY Gotham FC.
The 31-year-old, who signed for Liverpool in January 2022, was one of the Reds' standout performers last term, scoring 10 goals in 26 appearances as Matt Beard's side secured a seventh-place finish in the Women's Super League [WSL]. Long-term injuries to fellow attackers Leanne Kiernan and Melissa Lawley forced Stengel to shoulder extra responsibility as the Reds sought to avoid being dragged into a relegation scrap in their first season back in the top flight.
However, the talismanic striker will be plying her trade a overseas for the next two months, with Liverpool confirming she has agreed a short-term deal in America. Stengel is set to provide cover for Gotham players away at the Women's World Cup, which will take place in Australia and New Zealand from July 20 to August 20.
