Enjoying a comeback in WSL following successful transfer to Manchester City, Cumings shares excitement
Scottish Goalkeeper Eartha Cumings Joins Manchester City
Eartha Cumings, a highly-regarded Scottish goalkeeper, has signed a three-year deal with Manchester City Women, making her the first-choice goalkeeper for the Women's Super League (WSL) team.
Cumings, who previously played for FC Rosengård in Sweden's top league, the Damallsvenskan, has a stellar record. In the 2024 season, she helped her team win the title by conceding only nine goals throughout the season and recording 18 clean sheets [1]. Her impressive performance earned her the Goalkeeper of the Year award in 2024.
Before her move to Manchester City, Cumings played for several WSL clubs, including Bristol City, Liverpool, and Everton. Her experience in top-flight European competition and her key role in Rosengård's success underscore her status as an elite goalkeeper [1].
Cumings expressed her excitement about joining Manchester City, referring to it as an "exciting team." She aims to use her experience to help the team during the upcoming campaign. The goalkeeper union at Manchester City seems promising and enjoyable from the outside, according to Cumings.
The team at Manchester City boasts a mix of young players and experienced ones, and Cumings will provide competition for Ayaka Yamashita and Khiara Keating in the goalkeeper position. With high ambitions and aspirations for the upcoming season, Manchester City has its sights set on a strong performance in the WSL.
Cumings' arrival at Manchester City is an exciting time for the team. In the 2024-25 season, Manchester City conceded 28 goals, a total only bettered by Arsenal (26), Chelsea (16), and Manchester United (13) in the women's top-flight. With Cumings' addition, the team hopes to improve its defensive record and challenge for the title.
