The Hawthorns.

Albion Women can confirm their retained and released lists ahead of the 2024/25 campaign.

As previously announced, Lucy Newell has departed the club following the end of her dual-registration deal with Manchester United.

The talented defender - who joined the Baggies aged nine - had represented the Young Lionesses during her time with the Albion, having progressed through the ranks to reach the Baggies' senior side when she was just 16 years old.

Midfielder Abi Loydon, who has been a part of the club from under-9 level, has also left the team alongside Hayley Crackle, Janelle Straker and Steph Weston.

Meanwhile, Lucy Jones and Delphi Cole have both exited following the conclusion of their dual-registration deals - as has defender Jess Reavill.

The club thanks all departing players for their efforts, and wishes them the very best of luck in their future careers.

Elsewhere, young talent Lucy Davies will be making the step up to feature for Siobhan Hodgetts-Still's senior squad, having represented the Baggies from under-10 level.
