Sam Kerr to leave Chelsea after trophy-laden tenure with WSL powerhouses
Chelsea have announced that Australian international Sam Kerr will depart the club at the end of the season, bringing to an end a heavily successful six-and-a-half years.
Kerr joined Chelsea in January 2020 following a successful spell at Chicago Red Stars in the National Womenâs Soccer League, where the forward became the first player to receive the leagueâs Player of the Season award twice.
During her time in west London, the 32-year-old has won almost everything there is to win. She will depart the club having won five WSL titles, three FA Cups and League Cups, as well as the Community Shield.
The Matildasâ captain currently sits second in Chelseaâs all-time scoring charts. With 115 goals in just 177 appearances for the Blues, Kerr will hope to surpass her former creative partner, Fran Kirby, who sits top with just one more goal to her name.
âWhen I reflect on my Chelsea career and doing it for the last time [against Manchester United this Saturday], I just feel happy,â said Kerr to Chelsea FC.
âHappy 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.â
