Fan favourite Katie McCabe to leave Arsenal at end of season | OneFootball

Arsenal fan favourite Katie McCabe will leave the club at the end of the season after more than a decade at the club.

The Republic of Ireland defender has made 305 appearances for the Gunners since arriving in December 2015 and departs having won every major trophy.

McCabe, 30, won one Women’s Super League title, one FA Cup, three League Cups, and last season added the Women’s Champions League.

McCabe’s exit follows the departure of England forward Beth Mead, with Arsenal looking to lower the age profile of their squad as they build for the future.

“Over more than a decade at Arsenal, Katie has made a significant and lasting contribution to the history and success of our football club,” Arsenal’s director of women’s football Clare Wheatley.

“Katie has led with passion and commitment, giving everything for the badge and forging a special bond with our supporters. She departs as a club legend and we are so proud of our shared journey together.”
