Liverpool have announced the signing of goalkeeper Khiara Keating on a free transfer.

The 22-year-old became a free agent following the expiration of her contract at Manchester City, where she progressed through the academy before making her Women's Super League debut in 2021-22.

Overall, Keating made 44 WSL appearances for City, keeping 15 clean sheets and making 109 saves as she won the league title in 2025-26.

However, during City's title-winning campaign last term, Keating was very much the second-choice goalkeeper behind Ayaka Yamashita, featuring in just four WSL games.

Keating reportedly rejected a contract extension from City as she now looks to help Liverpool become a title contender.

"I think everyone knows Liverpool worldwide. It’s such a big club and I think the women’s team is striving for greatness," Keating, who signed a three-year deal, told the club website.

"I think the style of football that they play, they actually try to play – which suits me and my position.

"I think they’re just going in the right direction and [it is] a project that I want to be part of.

"The start of my career has been nothing but amazing. I’ve gained platforms and done brilliantly so far. But I needed that missing [piece of the] puzzle.

"And I think Liverpool can be that – where I’m playing week in, week out and I’m getting good game time, playing with a good team and winning trophies."

Liverpool finished 11th in the WSL last season under Gareth Taylor, who worked with Keating at City.
