Club career

Lipman joined Coventry City as a 10-year-old and was playing in their first team by the time she was 14 years old. [1] After moving to Yorkshire to attend Leeds Beckett University, Lipman represented Leeds City Vixens [2] and Leeds United in the FA Women's Premier League.

In July 2013 Lipman transferred to Manchester City. [3] When Sheikh Mansour-backed Manchester City successfully bid for an FA WSL franchise in 2014, they handed Lipman a professional contract.

Lipman won a contract extension for Manchester City's 2015 season, but the club's purchase of England full-backs Lucy Bronze and Demi Stokes reduced her opportunities to play. In February 2016 she joined Sheffield FC, who had just been promoted into WSL 2. [4]

In 2017 Lipman accepted an offer to play in Italy, with AGSM Verona. She featured in 21 of 22 league fixtures as the club secured a mid-table finish in Serie A. That prompted Roma to sign Lipman for their newly formed women's team. [5] After playing in 17 of Roma's 22 2018–19 Serie A games, contributing one goal, Lipman signed for another Italian club Florentia San Gimignano in July 2019. [6]

In July 2020 Lipman and her Maltese teammate Rachel Cuschieri signed for Lazio, who had narrowly missed promotion to Serie A the previous season. [7]

International career

As well as England, Lipman was also eligible for the national teams of Scotland and Malta due to her grandparents. [8] In May 2019 Lipman received a call-up to Malta's squad for a friendly match against Bolton Wanderers. [9] She started Malta's 2–1 win at the Malta Football Association training grounds in Ta' Qali. [10]

On 4 October 2019 Lipman won her first official cap for Malta, in a home UEFA Women's Euro 2021 qualifying Group B fixture against Italy. Although Lipman's handball conceded an injury time penalty kick, converted by Cristiana Girelli, Malta received credit for their "brave display" in their 2–0 defeat against Italy. [11] Lipman retained her place in the team for the next qualifier, a 1–1 draw with Israel. [12]
