The Denver Summit announced the signing Saturday of defender Gemma Bonner through the ​end of the season.

The ‌35-year-old England international returns to the NWSL after four productive years at Liverpool FC (2023-26).

“We’re thrilled to bring in ‌a ​proven winner with ⁠this level of ⁠experience,” Denver general manager Curt Johnson said. “She’s competed in multiple leagues and consistently found ways ​to make an impact wherever she’s been. That kind ⁠of veteran presence ⁠is invaluable — not just ​for what she’ll contribute on the ​field, but for the example ‌she’ll set in the locker room. We’re excited to have her as part of our ⁠organization.”

Bonner played for Racing Louisville from 2021-22, contributing one goal in 33 NWSL ⁠matches (all ‌starts).

Bonner previously played for ⁠Liverpool from 2012-18, in ​addition ‌to stints with Leeds ​United (2017-11), Chelsea (2011-12) ⁠and Manchester City (2018-21). She also earned 12 caps with England and helped the national team win the 2019 SheBelieves Cup.
