Ten players to leave Blackburn Rovers at the end of their contracts | OneFootball

Blackburn Rovers have announced the news that 10 players will be leaving the club this summer upon the expiry of their contracts.

The Lancashire side revealed their end of season departure list via a post on their official club website this afternoon.

It has been reported that Shanell Salgado, Helen Seed, Milly Robertson, Lauren Thomas, Faith Nokuthula, Megan Hornby, Lucy Shepherd, Hannah Coan, Emma Doyle and Nicola Worthington will all be leaving Ewood Park this summer.

There are a number of surprise names on Blackburn Rovers’ released list. Attacker Shepherd was an ever-present for the club in the Barclays Women’s Championship this season while she was their top scorer. Defenders Seed and Coan have been heavily used by Blackburn Rovers in recent seasons, as has attacker Thomas.

The biggest loss for the club this summer is forward Hornby. She ended the 2023/2024 season as the club’s top scorer with seven league goals while she was also the joint-highest goal creator. The attacker is a top talent who could play her football at a higher level in the future.

Blackburn Rovers enjoyed their most successful season to date in the elite game in 2023/2024. The club ended the campaign in sixth position in the Barclays Women’s Championship table with a record points tally of 36.
