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

The 29-year-old joined Villa in 2020 and helped the club retain their Women's Super League status on the final day of the 2020/21 campaign.

The Germany international made 36 appearances in claret & blue and scored eight goals in the process.

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