Midfielder Gorry to leave West Ham United | OneFootball

West Ham United midfielder Katrina Gorry will leave the club when her current contract expires this summer.

WSL Full-Time were informed of the news via an official club press release from The Hammers this morning.

The 33-year-old Australian international joined West Ham United in the January 2024 transfer window. She has gone on to make more than 50 appearances for The Hammers in all competitions, helping the club to be competitive in the Barclays Women’s Super League.

Gorry’s contract will expire at the end of next month and the player has opted to move on to a new challenge.

After her West Ham United exit was confirmed, Gorry said “It’s an emotional time to be leaving West Ham United but I know this is the right decision for me and my family.

“I’ve enjoyed so many incredible moments over the last two-and-a-half years, and captaining this team has been the greatest honour. West Ham is a special Club with an incredible fanbase that always shows up. The fans have seen so much growth – in us as players, as a team, and as a Club – and I’m proud to have been part of that journey.

“I’ve felt at home ever since I arrived. I came here with a two-year-old daughter and I’m leaving East London with an even bigger family – not just my son, but the West Ham family too: the fans, the staff and everyone connected to the Club. The support I’ve received from everyone will stay close to my heart forever.

“I leave a better person and a better player, and for that I’ll always be grateful.”

Gorry is the first confirmed departure at West Ham United this summer.
