Barcelona has signed 24-year-old English goalkeeper Ellie Roebuck from Manchester City on a contract that will keep her with the club until June 2026. Roebuck, who played over 100 games for City and earned 11 caps for the English national team, was part of the winning squad at the Euro 2022 tournament.
Roebuck expressed her excitement about joining Barcelona, stating that she had been waiting for this opportunity for a long time and is thrilled to be a part of the club. She believes that everything has fallen into place perfectly for her at this moment. Roebuck made her senior debut for City in 2016, where they were crowned champions of the Women’s Super League.
Earlier this year, Roebuck shared on social media that she was on the road to recovery after experiencing a stroke. With her move to Barcelona, she now has the chance to reignite her career and establish herself as a key player for the club once again. She will share goalkeeping duties with Cata Coll of Spain and with frequent rotation of players at Barcelona, she has a good chance to prove herself as an important player for the team.
After facing challenges in securing playing time at City, Roebuck is ready for her comeback and determined to make a mark with her new team.
