Shannon Leishman will leave Hibernian Women this summer after over a decade of service
Shannon Leishman will leave Hibernian Women this summer after over a decade of service with the Club.
A lifelong Hibs fan and an Academy graduate, Leishman bids farewell to Hibs after 11 successful years and over 150 appearances in Green and White.
A Musselburgh native, 'Leishy' spent much of her childhood at Easter Road cheering on Hibs from the Famous Five Stand while moulding her own pathway to becoming a professional footballer.
Leishman began training with the First Team at Hibs Women prior to turning 16 years old, before making her senior debut in 2014 against Rangers.
A dedicated professional and consistent performer, Leishman has appeared 171 times for the Club, scoring 11 goals, and has won four domestic cups with the Club.
The 28-year-old has also played UEFA Women's Champions League football with her childhood club. Making her continental debut in a 5-0 win over Swansea City in August 2017, Leishy would go on to perform in Europe at her beloved Easter Road on multiple occasions.
Leishman also departs with a league winners' medal after making nine appearances for Hibs before spending the second half of the 2024/25 campaign on loan at Motherwell, where she helped guide the K-Park club to their first-ever Top Six finish and the Scottish Cup Semi-Finals.
On Leishman's departure, Hibs Women head coach Grant Scott said: 'Shannon has been a dedicated servant to Hibernian over the past 11 years.
'Coming through our Academy, Shannon has from a young age always set an example for others to follow and her commitment to being the ultimate professional has helped us to many successes over the years.
'More than all of that, she's a great person whose presence will be missed. We thank her for her contributions and wish her all the best for the future.'
She leaves Meadowbank Stadium with the best wishes of everybody at Hibernian FC, and the Club would like to place on record its immense gratitude for her outstanding service and commitment to the Club.
