Courtney Brosnan has signed a new two-year deal with Everton Women, aiming to lift morale ahead of Scott Phelan’s first home game in charge. Punters might view this as a short-term boost for Everton at Goodison — consider backing Everton to win or a draw no bet/Asian +0.5 option, as home advantage and renewed confidence could turn tight margins in their favour.
Courtney Brosnan pens two-year deal as Everton Women seek momentum
Goalkeeper Courtney Brosnan has committed her future to Everton Women with a new two-year contract and is targeting another win in Scott Phelan’s first home match as interim head coach. The 30-year-old Republic of Ireland international, at the club since July 2021, said the deal felt like a continuation of a journey she is proud of and hoped it would help lift the team’s form.
Senior presence for a young squad
Brosnan highlighted her role as one of the more senior players, stressing the importance of guiding the club’s younger talent. She pointed to the squad’s potential and the need for experience to help the team navigate the fine margins that have cost results this season.
New interim boss and a season reset
Scott Phelan, promoted from Everton Under-18s, will lead the team for the remainder of the campaign with assistance from Phil Jevons, first-team coach Jennifer Foster and goalkeeping coach Ian McCaldon. The change followed a turbulent run of results earlier in the season, and Brosnan believes small details — not wholesale failings — have been the difference in tight games.
Goodison Park boost
Everton’s women have moved some fixtures to Goodison Park this season, and Brosnan described playing at the historic stadium as a source of pride. She said the crowd’s support is important and that the squad is determined to put on performances for their fans at home.
Training ground camaraderie
Although training schedules mean limited day-to-day interaction with the men’s first-team players, Brosnan praised the example set by England goalkeeper Jordan Pickford and said she aims to mirror that professionalism in her own performances.
Betting implications: form, home advantage and margins
Brosnan’s new deal and the managerial change create a morale narrative that can influence betting markets. Short-term form boosts often push markets toward the home side, so punters might favour Everton to win or opt for lower-risk markets such as draw no bet or Asian +0.5.
For tighter stakes, markets like both teams to score or under/over 2.5 could reflect Everton’s defensive stability under a new goalkeeper contract, but bettors should weigh recent results and squad changes before staking large amounts.
