Goalkeeper 22
Faye Kirby joined the Liverpool Women side as a goalkeeper in the summer of 2022 after completing a move from her childhood club Everton.
Kirby was born on 5 April, 2004 in Crosby, Liverpool, England. She developed a passion for football at a younger age as she joined the Everton academy at just the age of seven (7), refining her reflexes, positioning, and distribution just like every other aspiring goalkeeper.
She spent 11 years at Everton’s academy before joining Liverpool in September 2022 as an additional boost in the goalkeeping position and a support to Rachael Laws, who at that time was Liverpool’s Women’s first-choice goalkeeper.
Five months after joining the Reds women’s side, she made her debut in an FA Women’s League Cup match against West Ham United, which ended in a 1:0 defeat that saw the Reds Women knocked out in the quarter-final.
She was named player of the match on her WSL debut against Chelsea on 3 May 2023, which ended in a 2:1 defeat for the Reds Women. Kirby made two (2) crucial saves in the game, denying Guro Reiten a one-on-one opportunity and Sam Kerr a direct header.
At the end of the 2022/2023 season, she was named Liverpool Women’s Young Player of the Year, Performance of the Season, and also won the Save of the Season award. Kirby attained this height in just five (5) appearances for the Reds.
Faye Kirby made a loan move to Aberdeen F.C. at the start of the 2023/2024 season, where she is to spend the first half of the season with the Scottish side. On 13 August 2023, she made her debut against Motherwell, which ended in a 3:2 victory for Aberdeen.
Her season was cut short on 13 September 2023 after she sustained an ACL injury in the 55th minute of the game against Hibernian. The injury kept her out for the rest of the season and also brought an end to her loan term in Scotland.
She recovered and returned to the game during the 2025/2026 season, when Liverpool FC offered her a new contract to extend her time at the club. Kirby made 11 appearances for the Reds Women in the 2025/2026 season under the management of Gareth Taylor.
