Liverpool Women have re-signed goalkeeper Rachael Laws from Reading.
The 29-year-old won the Women's Super League title while on loan at Liverpool in 2013 and is expected to be installed as number one following the departure of Anke Preuss.
Vicky Jepson has lost several senior stars this summer after their points-per-game relegation to the Championship but only Niamh Charles - who joined Women's Super League [WSL] outfit Chelsea - was believed to be part of the first-team plans.

“It’s a little bit surreal at the minute,” Laws said. “Liverpool is where my WSL journey started.
“I’m excited to be back, excited to start my new journey with Liverpool and looking forward to getting back and hopefully getting the club back to where they belong in the WSL.
“I needed a new challenge and I spoke to Vicky and Jen, the goalkeeping coach and everything they said was what I wanted to hear and hopefully I can make an impact like I did seven years ago.”
