Liverpool sign Austrian international midfielder Höbinger | OneFootball

Liverpool have completed the signing of Austrian international midfielder Marie Höbinger.

FAWSL Full-Time were informed of the news via an official club press release from The Reds just a short time ago.

Höbinger joins Liverpool after spending the last eight years on the books of German club Turbine Potsdam. The midfielder made 46 appearances for the club in the FLYERALARM Frauen-Bundesliga while she scored four goals. Last season saw Höbinger play her football in Switzerland during a loan spell at FC Zürich.

On the international stage, Höbinger has represented Austria on 30 occasions while she has scored seven goals for her country.

After securing a move to Liverpool, Höbinger said “I’m so happy to be here. I love English football, men’s and women’s, so I always wanted to play in the WSL. I probably never even imagined playing for Liverpool.

“When I spoke to Matt (Beard) and Russ (managing director) for the first time, they gave me a really good feeling. It felt so natural talking to them and Matt gave me new perspectives as a player.

“After the call, I just had such a great feeling, I could see myself enjoying football here.”

Höbinger becomes Liverpool’s sixth signing of the summer transfer window.
