Chelsea Confirm Sam Kerr Exit
Sam Kerr will officially leave Chelsea Women at the end of the season after the club confirmed her contract will expire this summer.
The Australian captain will play her final match for Chelsea against Manchester United Women on Saturday, bringing an end to one of the most successful eras in the club’s history.
Chelsea Legend Leaves Behind Incredible Legacy
Kerr departs Stamford Bridge as:
- Chelsea Women’s all-time leading WSL scorer
- A five-time Women’s Super League champion
- Winner of multiple domestic trophies
During her six-year stay, the striker scored:
- 115 goals
- In 177 appearances
She also helped Chelsea win:
- 5 WSL titles
- 3 FA Cups
- 3 League Cups
- 1 Community Shield
Emotional Farewell Message
Reflecting on her Chelsea journey, Kerr admitted she leaves with gratitude and pride.
“When I reflect on my Chelsea career and doing it for the last time, I just feel happy.”
“I feel so grateful to have played for this club for six years and won as many trophies as we could.”
Injuries And Off-Field Challenges
Kerr’s final years at Chelsea were also filled with challenges.
The 32-year-old spent nearly 20 months sidelined after suffering a serious knee ligament injury in January 2024.
She also faced legal issues following a high-profile court case in England, although she was later found not guilty.
Despite those setbacks, Kerr still managed to score 16 goals this season, cementing her legendary status at the club.
Chelsea Pay Tribute To Iconic Forward
Chelsea Women praised Kerr’s contribution both on and off the pitch in their farewell statement.
“We thank Sam for her incredible contribution to our success on the pitch and sustained growth off it.”
Her departure marks the end of a golden chapter for Chelsea Women — and leaves a huge void for the Blues to fill moving forward.
