Movin’ On Out

Lifelong Liverpool supporter Missy Bo Kearns reflects on the summer move that took her away from the club where she’d played since age eight, to Aston Villa. The 23-year-old England Under-23s captain, who recently earned her first senior Lionesses call-up, discusses the emotional weight of leaving a club that immortalised her in an Anfield mural, adapting to new manager Robert de Pauw’s footballing style, and building midfield understanding with Jordan Nobbs. She talks candidly about wanting more regular football than she was getting under Matt Beard, forming friendships with Rachel Daly and Fūka Nagano, and her excitement for former Liverpool teammate and England Under-23s ally Mia Enderby’s progress. A thoughtful, emotionally honest interview about ambition outweighing comfort at a pivotal career stage.
