Chelsea’s Sam Kerr confirms she will leave Stamford Bridge at the end of the season
Chelsea said the Australia forward will depart as a free agent after six-and-a-half years and 115 goals, one shy of Fran Kirby’s club record.
- Australian striker Sam Kerr will leave Chelsea at the end of this season when her contract expires, making her final appearance Saturday in a Women's Super League clash against Manchester United.
- During her six-and-a-half-year stint, Kerr netted 115 goals in 157 appearances, helping Chelsea secure five Women's Super League titles, three FA Cups, and three League Cups.
- Kerr remains one goal behind Fran Kirby as Chelsea's all-time leading scorer after overcoming a 20-month absence following a knee ligament injury in January 2024.
- "Happy that it happened, and I feel so grateful to have played for this club for six years," Kerr said, while Chelsea thanked the striker for her "incredible contribution."
- While Kerr has not confirmed her next destination, reports link the Australian to the NWSL and the ambitious new franchise Denver Summit; her departure follows the recent retirement of teammate Millie Bright.
