The 33-year-old, who is also captain of Wales, has been with the Blues since 2018, when she returned for a second stint at the club.

She has since won 11 trophies with the all-conquering Women’s Super League champions, and has also played more games than any player in the league.

The news comes as a big blow to new Chelsea manager Sonia Bompastor with the transfer window closed, and the new WSL season starting on Friday night.
