Announcing her Newcastle United departure, Greenwood said “My time at Newcastle United has come to an end. I’ve felt it’s probably the right time to leave for a while now and to look for a new exciting opportunity elsewhere, so I can continue to improve and develop as a player.

“The past two seasons have been a crazy unforgettable whirlwind, one where I have developed a lot in many ways and a time where I have made truly special memories with a great bunch of girls who welcomed me in with open arms and made me feel at home straight away. We’ve achieved so much along the way that I couldn’t have ever imagined, trail-blazed and smashed records.

“I’ve been unbelievably fortunate enough to have made several really special friends for life during my time here, for which I’ll be forever grateful to Newcastle for signing me and enabling me to meet all these amazing people.

“Thank you so much to all the staff both this season and last, including our amazing Colin Lock and to all my lovely teammates over my time here with whom I share amazing memories.

“Lastly, a huge thank you to the fans for your unwavering support for both the team and I over the last two seasons. I’ve loved being part of the Geordie family. I simply can’t express enough how amazing you all are, don’t ever change Geordies!”

Greenwood is the second player to be leaving Newcastle United this summer. Goalkeeper Grace Donnelly is also moving on.
