Southampton defender Caitlin Morris has announced that she is leaving the club following their promotion to the Barclays Women’s Championship.
The 22-year-old has spent the last four seasons with The Saints after joining the club from Cardiff City Ladies in 2018. In her time on the South Coast, Morris has helped the club rise up the footballing pyramid to the elite game.
Morris made 20 appearances for Southampton in this season’s FA Women’s National League Southern Premier Division while she scored two goals. She did not feature for Marieanne Spacey-Cale’s side in their 1-0 FA Women’s National League Championship Play-Off Final victory over Wolverhampton Wanderers in Stockport last month.
The defender took to her personal Twitter account this evening to confirm her Southampton departure.
She said “After a great four seasons as a Southampton FC Women’s player, I’ll be moving on to a new challenge. I have had some incredible experiences in the time I’ve been there and am proud of what the group has achieved and to have played a part in this – some amazing memories. Thank you to all the amazing fans who have supported through thick and thin, it really does make the difference!
“Wish the players, staff and club all the best for their first season in the Championship.
“One door closes and another opens, looking forward to what comes next.”
Morris has been on quite a journey with Southampton and she will long be remembered by the fans for her efforts over the last four years.
