Leicester City Women
Leicester City Women are set to bid farewell to Hannah Cain, Chantelle Swaby, and Rosella Ayane at the end of the season.
What happened?
Hannah Cain will leave Leicester City Women after six seasons, having made 89 appearances for the club. Chantelle Swaby departs after two campaigns, with 31 appearances to her name. Rosella Ayane will also leave, having made 14 appearances in the 2025/26 season.
Why it matters for Leicester City Women
These departures mark a significant change for the team, as they look to rebuild and strengthen their squad. Hannah Cain played a key role in securing the Championship title and promotion to the Barclays Women's Super League in 2021. Her experience and skill will be missed, but the club is already looking to the future.
What comes next?
Leicester City Women have activated extension options for goalkeeper Olivia Clark and defender Celeste Boureille, securing their services for at least another year. The club is also in negotiations with talented youngster Denny Draper, having issued a contract offer to the 19-year-old. These moves demonstrate the club's commitment to building a strong and competitive team.
| Player | Appearances | Seasons |
