The pair will bid farewell on Saturday at Anfield in the Barclays Women’s Super League season finale with Arsenal.<\/p>\n
Bonner departs as a Reds legend and the club’s all-time leading appearance-maker in the WSL era, having played in 186 games across two spells.<\/p>\n
The centre-half captained the club to back-to-back league titles in 2013 and 2014 before returning for a second stint in January 2023.<\/p>\n
She set a new appearance record in November of that year by surpassing Ashley Hodson’s previous best of 134, leading to a dressing room at the Kirkby Academy being renamed in her honour.<\/p>\n
Vastly experienced and talented, Bonner was an important figure in the Liverpool side that re-established themselves in the top flight with finishes of seventh and fourth in 2022-23 and 2023-24 respectively.<\/p>\n
The 34-year-old has been on the scoresheet five times in the second chapter of her Reds career, two of which came in a thrilling 4-3 victory against Chelsea at Prenton Park in May 2024.<\/p>\n
Injury has limited her to 10 outings in the current campaign \u2013 the 10th one she has been involved in at the club.<\/p>\n
Head coach Gareth Taylor said: \u201cA fantastic servant for Liverpool Football Club. (It is) Something to be really proud of, particular the amount of appearances in the two spells she had at the club.<\/p>\n
\u201cObviously I was fortunate enough to be able to coach her at Manchester City also. For us she has just been a real ambassador for the football club, on and off the pitch, and she goes with our best wishes because she has given a lot to the club.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe really appreciate everything she has done on and off the pitch to drive this club forward. (She) Had a lot of success and has obviously had a real big effect on a lot of people.<\/p>\n
\u201cSo, really proud of her achievements and she has been a real stalwart of the club for a long time.<\/p>\n
\u201cShe goes with our well-wishes and we\u2019ll always have a place for her here \u2013 and certainly a place in our hearts for her as well because she has done so much for this football club.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
