Republic of Ireland international striker Leanne Kiernan has signed a new contract with Liverpool FC Women.

Her 23 goals for the Reds makes her their second-highest scorer in the WSL era, behind only Natasha Dowie, as Kiernan takes her spell with Liverpool into a fifth season.

Kiernan told Liverpoolfc.com: “It feels amazing and I’m really excited to get going again.

“[My family are] delighted, honestly. It’s like a second home for them as well as me and they love it over here. I could actually see myself, after I finish my career, in Liverpool. I feel like they’re really enjoying coming over to see me.

“[The fans] have been unbelievable – really supportive throughout injuries, really supportive by sticking with us and I feel like they’ve been there for the good times and the bad. Hopefully we’ll be able to celebrate with them a lot this year.”
