Earps started her career at Leicester before joining Doncaster Rovers Belles ahead of the inaugural Women's Super League campaign. From there, she moved to Birmingham, Bristol Academy and Reading. Bundesliga giants Wolfsburg came calling, but Earps didn't make much impact, amassing just four Bundesliga appearances before heading back to England to join United. Earps has been there ever since, taking the number one jersey for club and country.

When I was about eight I saw my brother playing football in the back garden and wanted to get involved, so I joined his team.
Then once I turned around ten or 11, I joined a girls' team and I've been playing all the time since.
