Four players will leave Aston Villa at the end of the Women’s Super League season.
Emily Gielnik, Chantelle Boye-Hlorkah and Ruesha Littlejohn will leave when their contracts expire, while Natasha Harding will also depart.
Wales international Harding joined Villa from Reading last summer, but has been sidelined for a long time with a broken femur.
Villa finished the WSL season in fifth, their highest position.
The four players will leave the squad after Villa’s final game, at Arsenal on Saturday.
Republic of Ireland striker Littlejohn – who hopes to represent his country at his first World Cup this summer – joined Villa on a short-term deal in 2021-22, but his contract has been extended and he has made 30 appearances.
Australian striker Gielnik and winger Boye-Hlorkah joined in the summer of 2021.
Gienik played 31 games for Villa, scoring four goals, while Boye-Hlorkah scored twice in 27 games.
