Emma Louise Lipman (born 23 February 1989) is a professional footballer who plays as a defender for Genoa in the Italian Serie B. Lipman was born and brought up in England but chose to play for Malta at international level.
Club career
[edit]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
[edit]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]
