Ellie Roebuck: England keeper joins Barcelona from Manchester City

England goalkeeper Ellie Roebuck has joined Barcelona from Manchester City on a deal which runs until June 2026.

Roebuck, 24, made more than 100 appearances for City and has 11 international caps.

The Sheffield-born keeper was part of England’s Euro 2022-winning squad and signs for Barca after her City contract expired.

Roebuck told the Barcelona website: “I am very excited. I’d been waiting for this chance for a long time. I’m very happy to be here.

“You could say that now everything fits and this was the perfect time to come.”

“It just feels like the right time personally, not just football-wise but to take that next step and have a bit of a lifestyle change,” she told City’s website.

Roebuck made her senior debut for City on the final day of the 2016 WSL season, where they were crowned champions.

Earlier this year she posted on social media to say she was on the “road to recovery” after having a stroke.

Roebuck’s England team-mate Khiara Keating emerged as City’s number-one keeper in 2023-24.
