Crystal Palace defender Lizzie Waldie will leave the club this summer when her contract comes to an end.
The Eagles announced the news via a squad update on their official club website this evening.
Waldie has spent the last four years with Crystal Palace after joining the club from Kent Football United. The player made 59 appearances for The Eagles in the Barclays Women’s Championship in which she scored five goals. Waldie made 20 of those appearances during the 2021/2022 season as Crystal Palace recorded their highest-ever finish of fourth place in the Barclays Women’s Championship table.
Crystal Palace held talks with Waldie over her future in recent weeks and the player has opted for a fresh challenge next season.
After her Crystal Palace departure was announced, Waldie said “I’d like to say a big thank you to the fans for all of their support for me and the rest of the girls over the past four years. I’m going to miss looking up into the stand and seeing that sea of Palace flags – they’ve been like a 12th player for us, so thank you.”
Waldie joins teammates Rianna Dean, Hollie Olding and Emily Wilson-White in leaving Crystal Palace this summer. The South Londoners remain in talks with several other players about their futures.
