Ireland international Megan Connolly will start the new season with a new venture after confirming her departure from relegated Bristol City.

The Corkwoman (27) was handed the captain’s armband when recruited from Brighton and Hove Albion 12 months ago. She was an ever-present for the Robins during a testing Women’s Super League campaign that concluded with them slipping into the Championship.
