Today, the North Carolina Courage of the NWSL and Liverpool FC of the Women’s Super League have announced the transfer of midfielder Denise O’Sullivan.
“It’s hard to put into words what this club has truly meant to me. North Carolina will always be my home, and I’m forever grateful to the Club, my teammates, and the incredible fans who supported and believed in me every step of the way. I’m on to a new challenge now, but I’ll always be a part of Courage Country. From the bottom of my heart, thank
you for everything,” said O’Sullivan.
In nine seasons, O’Sullivan departs as the club’s all-time leader with 186 appearances and NWSL record seven league trophies: three NWSL Shields, two NWSL Championships, two NWSL Challenge Cups.
The captain and club legend joined the club on July 28, 2017 off the waiver wire from Houston Dash.
She was only the second player to wear the captain’s armband. The tenacious midfielder left everything out on the pitch, and a legacy that will last forever.
“Denise has been an integral part of this club since the beginning, and she has helped define the Courage way. She’s been a leader, both on and off the field, and the standard of excellence she set for herself, her teammates, and everyone at this organization will be her legacy. She will be missed, but we understand her desire to be closer to home and wish her all the best in her next chapter,” said Courage Chief Soccer Officer Ceri Bowley.
