The 27-year-old has agreed terms on a deal after spending eight years with Reading FC Women, following on from several years at Chelsea Women.

She said: “Becky is the first signing of the summer and I’m delighted to welcome her to the club.
“She’s a reliable Women’s Super League player (WSL) who’s been loyal to Reading for many years and will bring a lot of experience to our club.
“She’s a quick attacking full back which is something we need in our squad so she will certainly add quality and I can’t wait to get started with her. I’m really looking forward to having a full pre-season with the team.”
Jane won WSL2 with Reading in 2015 and was one of the first of their senior players to turn professional, winning the Supporters’ Player of the Year award on several occasions.
She takes the 22 shirt at Anfield and is excited to get started with her new team.
Jane said: “I can’t wait to get started. It’s going to be a big change but one which I’m really excited about. I think it’s time for a fresh start, I had a great time at Reading but it’s time to move on.
“From playing against Liverpool for the past couple of seasons, they’ve got a good work ethic and a good team togetherness. Having spoken to Vicky she’s what I need in a manager at the moment, she’s very player focused and gives confidence to the players.”
