Jacynta Galabadaarachchi joined Celtic in 2021 and would go on to become a fan favourite at the club.
She scored five goals in 25 league games for Celtic Women, scoring 15 goals before leaving two years ago to join Sporting Lisbon in Portugal.
The Australian attacker, 23, has now departed the Portuguese capital after playing 63 times for the Lionesses.
A statement from the Lisbon side said: "Thank you for everything you gave in 63 games with Leo on your chest.
"Forever a Lioness."
Their statement was accompanied by a video of her highlights playing in Portugal.
The player herself said: "My time at Sporting has come to an end, I want to say a massive thank you to my amazing teammates, staff, and loving fans.
"You all made my time at Sporting memorable and enjoyable.
"I'll cherish the moments I shared with you all and I'm happy to have experienced my years at this club.
"Thank you for everything."
