Sandy MacIver joins Washington Spirit on a three-year contract from Manchester City.

The Scottish national team goalkeeper had been at City for two-and-a- half years having arrived in 2022.

MacIver originally joined the Blues academy in 2015 from Everton, before she made a return to the toffees in 2020 where she continued to make a positive impression. After helping Everton avoid relegation MacIver rejoined Manchester City in 2021/22 signing a three-year contract.  

MacIver has made five appearances for the Scotland Women’s national team and kept two clean sheets. She also made 11 appearances for Manchester City: The 26-year-old has been on the sideline since April 2024 due to her tearing her anterior cruciate ligament.
