Everton release youngsters Wilding and Dale | OneFootball

Everton youngsters Annie Wilding and Eleanor Dale will leave the club when their contracts expire next week.

WSL Full-Time were informed of the news via an official club press release from The Blue Girls earlier today.

Defender Wilding is a product of the Everton academy system with the player having joined the Merseysiders at the age of 12. She has made six senior appearances for Everton in all competitions. Wilding’s only Barclays Women’s Super League appearance came as a late substitute in Everton’s 4-0 victory over Bristol City at Ashton Gate on the final day of this season.

Midfielder Dale signed a short-term deal with Everton in February. She joined The Blue Girls upon her return to the UK after spending time playing in the American college system. Dale has made eight appearances for Everton in all competitions, all of which have come from the bench.

Three players have now had their Everton departures confirmed. Veteran forward Toni Duggan is also leaving the club this summer at the end of her second spell on Merseyside. Manager Brian Sørensen is expected to make some new additions to his squad in the coming weeks while he will be hoping to retain the services of his key players.
