Liverpool have confirmed the signing of Japan international Risa Shimizu on a season-long loan from Manchester City.
The full-back reunites with Liverpool manager Gareth Taylor, who recruited Shimizu from West Ham while in charge of City last year.
The 29-year-old has 79 caps for Japan and has featured at two Women's World Cups.
"I'm excited to join this club and I'm looking forward to being on the pitch," she said.
"I know what type of football the coach plays from our time together at City so I thought it was the right fit for me and that's why I chose this club."
