Mary Earps reacts to signing Puma sponsorship deal as Lionesses and Man Utd star leaves adidas

The England goalkeeper has reportedly signed a multi-year contract with kit manufacturer Puma, despite interest from other brands. She joins team-mates and fellow goalkeepers Ellie Roebuck and Khiara Keating in joining Puma; and it appears the 31-year-old is thrilled to have made the switch.

In an Instagram post, she posted a photo of her excitedly showing the Puma boots, while also putting them to use. She also wrote: "Excited to have signed with Puma ✍️ The future is now 🧡."

Earps' star could not be much higher at present, with the stopper starring for both United and England; as well as being named top women's goalkeeper at FIFA's The Best Awards for a second year running. The recognition she is getting is, arguably, playing a part in the growth of women's football, too.

Earps' United side are in FA Cup action on Sunday afternoon when they take on Chelsea in the semi-finals of the competition at Leigh Sports Village. They return to Women's Super League action on April 21 against Tottenham.
