Bristol City confirm Napier departure
Bristol City have announced the news that full-back Jamie-Lee Napier has left the club. The Robins revealed the news via a post on their official club website this morning. The 25-year-old Scotland international was out of contract at Ashton Gate this summer and an extension to her deal was not agreed. Napier joined Bristol City in summer 2023 ahead of the club's Barclays Women's Super League return. She featured heavily for The Robins in the top flight but could not help the club to avoid an immediate return to Barclays WSL2. Napier continued to be a regular starter for Bristol City last term. She was handed the captain's armband in her second season at Ashton Gate. Commenting on her departure, Napier said 'Firstly, I would like to thank everyone at the club for the last few years and for making me feel so welcome from day one. 'To my teammates and staff, thank you for some of the most amazing times and for all the support you have given me during my time here. I leave with friendships and memories for life and for that I'm very grateful. 'One of my proudest moments in a City shirt was leading this team out at Ashton Gate in-front of this amazing city and you incredible fans. 'It wouldn't have been the same without you Robins fans, you made playing for this club extra special, so thank you from the bottom of my heart. 'I wish this club all the best moving forward.' Napier is the sixth player to have left Bristol City since the end of last season. Jesse Woolley, Jasmine Bull, Amalie Thestrup, Ffion Morgan and Amy Rodgers have also moved on this summer.
