Eartha Cumings Delighted with Manchester City Move, Excited for Action After Completion of Transfer
Scottish international goalkeeper Eartha Cumings is set to join Manchester City Women for the upcoming 2025-26 Women's Super League (WSL) season. The 26-year-old, who has signed a three-year contract with the club, comes from FC Rosengård in Sweden where she spent the last two years[1].
Last season with Rosengård, Cumings had an impressive run, playing every game, conceding only nine goals, and keeping 18 clean sheets. Her outstanding performances helped Rosengård win the 2024 Damallsvenskan title and earned her the Goalkeeper of the Year award in Sweden[1][2][4].
With high ambitions and aspirations, Manchester City is known for aiming high. The club finished fourth in the WSL last season, just missing out on Champions League football[3]. Cumings aims to use her international experience to help City during the upcoming campaign[1].
Cumings, who has been capped seven times by Scotland, is looking forward to being part of Manchester City's goalkeeper union and has expressed excitement about joining the team, stating it's an exciting team and it's nice to come close to home[5].
In the upcoming season, Manchester City will face some tough competitors, including Chelsea, Brighton, Tottenham, and London City Lionesses. Cumings is likely to debut in these fixtures[1]. She will provide competition for Ayaka Yamashita and Khiara Keating in Manchester City's goalkeeper position[6].
The goalkeeper union at Manchester City is known for having fun, and Cumings is expected to add to the camaraderie as the team prepares for an exciting new season[7].
