Liverpool Women Sign Scotland International Martha Thomas on Loan from Tottenham

Liverpool FC Women have secured the loan signing of Scotland striker Martha Thomas from Tottenham Hotspur until the end of the 2025-26 season, aiming to boost their attack amid a winless start in the Barclays Women's Super League (WSL).[1][2][4]

The 29-year-old forward, born on May 31, 1996, joins Gareth Taylor's squad wearing the No. 31 shirt. Thomas brings extensive WSL experience, having played for West Ham United (2019-2021), Manchester United (2021-2023), and Tottenham since September 2023.[1][2][6] At Spurs, she made 66 appearances, scoring 13 goals, including Tottenham's first WSL hat-trick, a milestone 100th top-flight game in March 2024, a historic win against Arsenal, and the FA Cup semi-final winner against Leicester to reach the final.[2][3]

Internationally, Thomas has been prolific for Scotland since her senior debut in March 2020, netting 21 goals in 52 caps—a near one-in-two ratio.[1][3] Eligible for England but representing Scotland, she scored on debut in the 2020 Pinatar Cup.[6]

Liverpool, currently bottom of the WSL with no wins in 12 matches, desperately need firepower. Thomas expressed excitement in her first interview at AXA Melwood Training Centre: "It's a really exciting time... the right fit right now in my career. I'm really looking forward to be here and help this team climb the table."[1][4] She praised the team's strong performances, believing they just need to "get over the line," and has full faith in the project.[1]

The move, announced in January 2026, bolsters Taylor's attacking options as Liverpool seek to turn their season around.[2][3]
