Earps spent two seasons at PSG, making 22 league appearances last term.
She left United to pursue Champions League football and silverware, while also stepping out of the English spotlight for a while.
The attention returned after her book was released last year, but she says the time in Paris gave her invaluable experiences.
Grateful for the support she’s received over the years, she also found it refreshing to spend time away.
She hails PSG as a fantastic club and cherishes playing at the Parc des Princes, enjoying French cuisine, embracing Parisian life, and learning the language—all of which she feels helped her grow.
An intense competitor on the pitch, she valued the chance to reflect away from the frenzy in England.
She emphasizes she’s thankful for her platform and that moving abroad was about pushing beyond her comfort zone, not escaping it.
When her contract expired, though, she yearned to return to England and experience WSL atmospheres again.
Now back home, she’s delighted, having missed the culture of English football—the feeling of walking into a stadium, the crowd’s electricity, and the energy around the women’s game.
Time away, she says, only deepened her appreciation for it.
