Kirby to leave Chelsea at end of season

England forward Fran Kirby will leave Chelsea at the end of the season after nine years with the Women's Super League club, she announced on Saturday.

Kirby, who joined Chelsea in 2015, won six WSL titles and five FA Cups with the London club, scoring 107 goals in 192 appearances.

"To leave with the trophies that I have won, with the team mates I've played with – some of the world's best players – it has been one of the biggest privileges of my life," the 30-year-old Kirby said in a statement.

WSL champions Chelsea are second in the table with 46 points from 19 games, six behind leaders Manchester City, who have played one more game.
