Lionesses star Jess Carter announces engagement to long-term partner Ann-Katrin Berger one month after ex-Chelsea team-mate's transfer to NWSL side NJ/NY Gotham FC

<p>The couple took to social media to announce their news just one month after <a href="https://www.goal.com/en/lists/gotham-sign-chelsea-goalkeeper-ann-katrin-berger/blt522de89efba9d7f5" target="_blank">Berger left Chelsea to join reigning National Women's Soccer League side NJ/NY Gotham FC</a>. The German goalkeeper spent six seasons at Stamford Bridge before heading to the U.S. in April.</p>
