Star Arsenal Women's forward leaves club after being released by mutual consent

Heath sustained a hamstring injury in training last week, which has ruled her out for the rest of the Women’s Super League season. 

The US star has been released to allow her to back to the USA to focus on her rehabilitation. 

“Although I’m disappointed that my time at Arsenal has come to an early end, I have loved every minute of my time here,” she said. “I would like to thank everyone at the Club who has made me feel so welcome. 

“Arsenal is a special Club and this is a special group of players. I have no doubt that they are bound for success in the near future and I’ll be supporting the team with the rest of the Arsenal family from now on.”

Meanwhile, Gunners boss Jonas Eidevall said: “It’s been a pleasure to work with Tobin this season. She has made an important contribution both on and off the pitch, with her mentality and character setting a great example to the entire group. We wish Tobin well for the future and look forward to seeing what comes next for her.”

During her time at Arsenal, Heath made 18 appearances, scoring three goals. 

More to come.
