There was a sliding doors moment involving two Irish strikers at London City Lionesses last month.Rianna Jarrett departed the Championship promotion chasers after an 18-month spell at the club.

She would ultimately return to Wexford Youths in the Women's National League.To fill the void left by Jarrett, in came Kyra Carusa from Danish side HB Koge.

Manager Mel Phillips was keen on Carusa to bolster her attacking options but before the deal was done, Phillips made the surprise decision to leave London for a coaching position at Angel City in the USA.When the dust settled on a busy few days, Jarrett and Phillips were gone while Carusa arrived at the Lionesses, where she was greeted by a familiar face.Lily Agg has been at the club for three years.

She admits there were mixed emotions as Jarrett and the massively respected Phillips moved on, a sense of disappointment that was offset by landing Carusa."It's gutting to lose Ri ,she was brilliant for us on and off the pitch, she hasn’t had the best of luck with her injuries but was a fantastic person to have around," she said."So she’s a massive loss for us.
