Wales international Hannah Cain is leaving Leicester City following the club’s relegation from the Women’s Super League (WSL).
The 27-year-old forward is one of three players, external who will leave the Midlands club when their contracts expire at the end of the month, but Leicester have confirmed Wales goalkeeper Olivia Clark will remain with the Foxes for 2026-27.
Cain joined Leicester from Everton in 2020 and helped the club gain promotion to the WSL in her first season.
“After six unforgettable years, I feel that now is the right time for me to say goodbye, ” Cain said on social media.
“This club has been so much more than just a place to play football. It’s been a place where I’ve grown, learned, created lifelong friendships, and made memories that I’ll cherish forever.”
Cain is currently with the Wales squad preparing to face Montenegro and Czech Republic in their final Women’s World Cup qualifying fixtures and is yet to indicate where she will play next season.
“While it was always going to be difficult to leave, I’m incredibly grateful for everything this club has given me,” she added.
“I’ll always look back on these years with pride and appreciation.”
