Sam Kerr to leave Chelsea at the end of the season

Chelsea Women striker Sam Kerr will leave Chelsea at the end of the season when her contract expires, after six-and-a-half years at the club.

Kerr leaves as Chelsea’s fourth-highest appearance maker, and has scored 115 goals for the club. She has won five WSL titles, three FA Cups, three League Cups and the Community Shield.

The Australian said: “When I reflect on my Chelsea career and doing it for the last time [against Manchester United this Saturday], I just feel happy. Happy that it happened, and I feel so grateful to have played for this club for six years and won as many trophies as we could.”

Kerr is Chelsea’s all-time top scorer in the Women’s Super League.
