Aston Villa Women can confirm that Asmita Ale has left the club having declined the offer of a new contract.

The 19-year-old defender joined the club in 2011, and progressed through the ranks to help Villa achieve promotion to the Women's Super League in 2020. Her contributions continued as the club maintained top-flight status on the final day of the 2020/21 campaign.

The club would like to thank Asmita for her service and wish her well in the future.
