Leicester City confirmed the departure of Wales striker Hannah Cain after the club's drop from the Women’s Super League. The 27‑year‑old, who joined the Foxes from Everton in 2020, will leave when her contract ends this month. Her exit joins two other players set to depart, while goalkeeper Olivia Clark stays through 2026‑27.

Cain helped lift Leicester to the WSL in her debut season, scoring key goals that steadied the team. She posted on social media, saying, “After six unforgettable years, I feel that now is the right time for me to say goodbye.” The Welsh international is currently with the national squad preparing for World Cup qualifiers against Montenegro and Czech Republic.

With Leicester’s relegation, Cain’s exit frees the club to rebuild its attack for the Championship. Her departure also leaves Wales without a proven striker in the final qualifying fixtures. Fans will remember her for the promotion campaign, but the club now faces a rebuilding phase that will rely on new signings to return to top‑flight football year for the team.
