Liverpool Women are set to bid farewell to two defensive stalwarts, as the club has confirmed that defenders Gemma Bonner and Gemma Evans will depart at the end of the season. It's the end of an era for the Reds, who will honor both players in a special ceremony at Anfield this Saturday.

First up is the legendary Gemma Bonner, a name synonymous with Liverpool's golden era. The 34-year-old captain led the Reds to back-to-back Women's Super League titles in 2013 and 2014 during her first spell, cementing her status as a club icon. She returned for a second stint and leaves as Liverpool's all-time record appearance holder in the WSL era, with 186 games under her belt. That's the kind of loyalty and consistency that builds dynasties. Her legacy is so profound that a dressing room at the Kirkby Academy has been named in her honor—a fitting tribute for a player who once scored a memorable brace in a thrilling 4-3 victory over Chelsea in May 2024.

However, this season has been a tougher one for Bonner, as injuries limited her to just 10 appearances under manager Gareth Taylor. Still, her impact on and off the pitch is undeniable, and she leaves as a true club legend.

Joining her in the exit is Gemma Evans, the Wales international who arrived from Manchester United in 2024. The 29-year-old has been a steady presence in the backline, making 38 appearances and helping the club reach back-to-back FA Cup semi-finals. Her leadership and experience have been invaluable, and she's already attracting interest from elsewhere. According to BBC Sport, WSL 2 side Newcastle United are in talks to sign Evans, a move that could see her continue her career at a club on the rise.

Both players will be celebrated by the Liverpool faithful at Anfield on Saturday, as the Reds play their final WSL game of the season against Arsenal (13:00 BST). It's a chance for fans to say a proper goodbye to two defenders who have given their all for the badge. For the club, it's a bittersweet moment—saying goodbye to legends while looking ahead to a new chapter.
